| On the holy mountain stands the city he has
founded; *
the LORD loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
|
| 2
| Glorious things are spoken of you, *
O city of our God.
|
| 3
| I count Egypt and Babylon among those who
know me; *
behold Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia:
in Zion were they born.
|
| 4
| Of Zion it shall be said, "Everyone
was born in her, *
and the Most High himself shall sustain her."
|
| 5
| The LORD will record as he enrolls the peoples,
*
"These also were born there."
|
| 6
| The singers and the dancers will say, *
"All my fresh springs are in you."
