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

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.

16  For the Lord ^cbuilds up Zion;

he ^dappears in his glory;

13  For the Lord has ^tchosen Zion;

he has ^udesired it for his dwelling place:

16  therefore thus says the Lord God,

^r“Behold, I am the one who has laid¹ as a foundation ^sin Zion,

a stone, a tested stone,

a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:

‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’
