Psalms

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.

The LORD Loves the Gates of Zion

1He has founded His city on the holy mountains.+ 2The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.+ 3Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God. Selah+ 4“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me — along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”+ 5And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”+ 6The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah+ 7Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”+
