The LORD Loves the Gates of Zion

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.

He has founded His city

on the holy mountains.

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 and Babylon

among those who know Me—

along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush —

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.”
