1 The Lord built his city on the holy hills.
2 He loves the gates of Zion more than any other place in Israel.
3 Wonderful things are said about you, City of God. Selah
4 God says, “Some of my people live in Egypt and Babylon. Some of them were born in Philistia, Tyre, and even Ethiopia.”
5 But about Zion he says, “I know each and every person born there.” It is the city built by God Most High.
6 The Lord keeps a list of all his people, and he knows where each of them was born. Selah
