¹A psalm of the sons of Korach. A song:

On the holy mountains is [the city’s] foundation.

²Adonai loves the gates of Tziyon

more than all the dwellings in Ya‘akov.

³Glorious things are said about you,

city of God. (Selah)

⁴I count Rahav and Bavel

among those who know me;

Of P’leshet, Tzor and Ethiopia [they will say],

“This one was born there.”

⁵But of Tziyon it will be said,

“This one and that was born in it,

for the Most High himself establishes it.”

⁶When he registers the peoples, Adonai will record,

“This one was born there.” (Selah)

⁷Singers and dancers alike say,

“For me, you are the source of everything.”
