Zion, the City of God

A psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.

1His foundation is on the holy mountains.a

2The LORD loves the gates of •Zion

more than all the dwellings of Jacob.b

3Glorious things are said about you,

city of God.c•Selah

4“I will mention those who know Me:

•Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and •Cush —

each one was born there.”d

5And it will be said of Zion,

“This one and that one were born in her.”

The •Most High Himself will establish her.e

6When He registers the peoples,

the LORD will record,

“This one was born there.”fSelah

7Singers and dancers alike will say,

“My whole source of joy isg in you.”h
