The LORD loves the gates of Zion

more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Glorious things are ascribed to you,

O city of God.

Selah

“I will mention Rahab(b)87:4 Rahab is a poetic name for Egypt. and Babylon

among those who know Me —

along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush(c)87:4 That is, the upper Nile region —

when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

And it will be said of Zion:

“This one and that one were born in her,

and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

The LORD will record in the register of the peoples:

“This one was born in Zion.”

Selah

Singers and pipers will proclaim,

“All my springs of joy are in You.”
