His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2The LORD loveth the gates of Zion

More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3Glorious things are spoken of Thee,

O city of God.

4‘I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know Me;

Behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia;

This one was born there.’

5But of Zion it shall be said: ‘This man and that was born in her;

And the Most High Himself doth establish her.’

6‘The LORD shall count in the register of the peoples:

‘This one was born there.’

7And whether they sing or dance,

All my thoughts are in Thee.
