1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion

More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee,

O city of God.

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me:

Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia:

This one was born there.

5 Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her;

And the Most High himself will establish her.

6 Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples,

This one was born there.

7 They that sing as well as they that dance shall say,

All my fountains are in thee.
