1 He has founded his city on the holy mountain.
2 The Lord loves the gates of Zionmore than all the other dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are said of you,city of God:
4 ‘I will record Rahab and Babylonamong those who acknowledge me –Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush –and will say, “This one was born in Zion.” ’
5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said,‘This one and that one were born in her,and the Most High himself will establish her.’
6 The Lord will write in the register of the peoples:‘This one was born in Zion.’
7 As they make music they will sing,‘All my fountains are in you.’
