1  On ^mthe holy mount ⁿstands the city he founded;

2  the Lord ^oloves the gates of Zion

more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

3  ^pGlorious things of you are spoken,

O ^qcity of God. Selah

4  Among those who ^rknow me I mention ^sRahab and Babylon;

behold, Philistia and Tyre, with ^tCush¹—

“This one was born there,” they say.

5  And of Zion it shall be said,

“This one and that one were born in her”;

for the Most High himself will ^uestablish her.

6  The Lord records as he ^vregisters the peoples,

“This one was born there.” Selah

7  ^wSingers and ^xdancers alike say,

“All my ^ysprings are in you.”
