1 (A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.) His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion More than all the [other] dwelling places of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah.

4 "I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me; Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia: 'This one was born there.'"

5 But of Zion it shall be said, "This one and that one were born in her"; And the Most High Himself will establish her.

6 The Lord shall count when He registers the peoples, "This one was born there." Selah.

7 Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes [shall say], "All my springs [of joy] are in you."
