A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song.

1His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion

More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3Glorious things are spoken of thee,

O city of God. [Selah

4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me:

Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia:

This one was born there.

5Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her;

And the Most High himself will establish her.

6Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples,

This one was born there. [Selah

7They that sing as well as they that dance shall say,

All my fountains are in thee.
