1 On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

2 Yahweh loves the gates of Zion

more than all the tents of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are said of you, city of God.

4 “I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers.

See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush—

and will say, 'This one was born there.'”

5 Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was born in her;

and the Most High himself will establish her.”

6 Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations,

“This one was born there.”

7 So also the singers and the dancers say together,

“All my fountains are in you.”
