A song. 1He has founded His city on the holy mountains.a 2The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 3Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God. 4“I will mention Rahabb and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cushc — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’ ” 5And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.” 6The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” 7Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.” Footnotes: 1 a Literally His foundation is on the holy mountains 4 b Rahab is a poetic name for Egypt. 4 c That is, the upper Nile region |
