| 1 | On the holy mount stands the city he founded; |
| 2 | the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. |
| 3 | Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. [Selah] |
| 4 | Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia -- "This one was born there," they say. |
| 5 | And of Zion it shall be said, "This one and that one were born in her"; for the Most High himself will establish her. |
| 6 | The LORD records as he registers the peoples, "This one was born there." [Selah] |
| 7 | Singers and dancers alike say, "All my springs are in you." |
