A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah, on their return from the Babylonian captivity. Regarding the latter part of this psalm (vv 4b-7), see Isaiah 19 for more on this prophesy, where vv 19:16-25) is a prophesy of the reconciliation and redemption of Egypt, as well as Assyria, often Israel’s nemeses. “In that day” (verses 23 and 24) of Isaiah 19 refers to the time when Christ’s gospel reaches the people of these nations. 1He has founded His city in the holy mountains. 2The LORD loves the city of Jerusalem more than any of the other dwelling places of Jacob. 3Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah. 4“I will list (record) Rahab (Egypt - southern world power) and Babylon (northern world power) among those that acknowledge Me - Philistia, too, and Tyre, with Ethiopia (Cush): - they will say ‘This one was born in Zion.’” 5And of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her” (with right of citizenship); and the Most High, Himself, shall establish her. 6The LORD shall record in the register of the people, that “This man was born in Zion”. Selah. 7As they make music, they shall sing; “All my springs (of joy) are in You.”
