² The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
³ Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God. Selah
⁴ “I will mention Rahab 2 and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush 3— when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”
⁵ And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”
⁶ The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah
⁷ Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
