1He has founded His city in the holy mountains. 2The LORD loves the city of Jerusalem more than any other dwelling places of Jacob. 3Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah. 4I will list (make mention of) Rahab (Egypt - southern world power) and Babylon (northern world power) to them that know(will) Me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this one was born there (Zion). 5And of Zion it shall be said, “This and that man was born (reborn) in her”; and the Highest Himself shall establish her. 6The LORD shall record, when He registers the people, that this man was born there. Selah. 7As they make music, singers as well as the players of instruments, shall be there; all my springs (of joy) are in You.
