1His foundation is in the holy mountains. 2Jehovah loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. 3Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. 4I will mention Rahab defamatory word for Egypta boaster (Isaiah 30:7) and Babylon among those who know me. Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia: »This one was born there.« 5But of Zion it shall be said: »This one and that one were born in her and the Most High will establish her.« 6Jehovah will count when he registers the peoples: »This one was born there.« 7Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes will say: »All my springs of joy are in you.«
