| 1On the holy mountain stands the city founded by the LORD. | 1A psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. His foundation is on the holy mountains. |
| 2He loves the city of Jerusalem more than any other city in Israel. | 2The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. |
| 3O city of God, what glorious things are said of you! Interlude | 3Glorious things are said about you, city of God. Selah " |
| 4I will count Egypt and Babylon among those who know me— also Philistia and Tyre, and even distant Ethiopia. They have all become citizens of Jerusalem! | 4I will mention those who know Me: Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush-- each one was born there." |
| 5Regarding Jerusalem it will be said, “Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there.” And the Most High will personally bless this city. | 5And it will be said of Zion," This one and that one were born in her." The Most High Himself will establish her. |
| 6When the LORD registers the nations, he will say, “They have all become citizens of Jerusalem.” Interlude | 6When He registers the peoples, the LORD will record," This one was born there." Selah |
| 7The people will play flutes and sing, “The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!” | 7Singers and dancers alike will say," My whole source of joy is in you." |
