Psalms

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.

The LORD Loves the Gates of Zion

1His foundation is in the holy mountains.+ 2Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.+ 3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. [Selah+ 4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me: Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This one was born there.+ 5Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; And the Most High himself will establish her.+ 6Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples, This one was born there. [Selah+ 7They that sing as well as they that dance [shall say], All my fountains are in thee.+
