1  On the ^mholy mount stands the city he ⁿfounded;

2  the Lord ^oloves the gates of Zion

more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

3  Glorious things of you are spoken,

O ^pcity of God. Selah

4  Among those who know me I mention ^qRahab and Babylon;

behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush¹—

“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 ^restablish her.

6  The Lord records as he registers the peoples,

“This one was born there.” Selah

7  Singers and dancers alike say,

“All my springs are in you.”
