A psalm of the Korahites. A song.

The Lord loves the city founded on holy mountains,

Loves the gates of Zion more than any dwelling in Jacob.

Glorious things are said of you, O city of God!

From Babylon and Egypt I count those who acknowledge the Lord.

Philistia, Ethiopia, Tyre, of them it can be said: "This one was born there."

But of Zion it must be said: "They all were born here."

The Most High confirms this; the Lord notes in the register of the peoples: "This one was born here."

So all sing in their festive dance: "Within you is my true home."
