Psalms

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.

The LORD Loves the Gates of Zion

1His foundation is in the holy mountains.+ 2Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.+ 3Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah.+ 4I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”+ 5Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her”; the Most High himself will establish her.+ 6Yahweh will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah.+ 7Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”+
