1 He has founded his city on the holy mountain.

2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion

more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are said of you,

city of God:[a]

4 “I will record Rahab[b] and Babylon

among those who acknowledge me—

Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush[c]—

and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”[d]

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.”
