I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as those that know me; behold, here is Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: “This man was born there.”

5 Zion te khaw pakhat phoeiah pakhat loh, “Anih loh n'cun dongah Khohni loh a thoh bitni,” a ti uh ni.

But of Zion will it be said, “This and that man were born in her:” and the Most High himself doth establish her.

The Lord will number when he writeth down nations. “This man was born there.” (Selah)

And the singers as well as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs [of joy] are in thee.
