1 T he city God built stands on the holy mountains.

2 T he Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the other places of Jacob.

3 G reat things are said about you, O city of God.

4 I will say that Rahab and Babylon are among those who know Me. Look, Philistia and Tyre and Ethiopia say, “This one was born there.”

5 B ut it will be said of Zion, “This one and that one were born in her.” And the Most High Himself will make her strong.

6 T he Lord will write in the book of the people, “This one was born there.”

7 T hen those who sing and those who play music will say, “All my wells of joy are in you.”
