1 The Lord built his city on the holy mountain;
2 he loves the gates of Zion more than any other place in Jacob.
3 Glorious things are said of you, O city of God!
4 “Among those who acknowledge me I will include Rahab and Babylon, besides Philistia, from Tire, and also from Ethiopia, as if they were born in Zion.”
5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said: "All these were born in Zion, and the Most High himself will establish it."
6 The Lord will write in the register of the peoples: “This one was born there.”
7 With dancing and singing, they will say: “In Zion are our origins!”
