A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.

2 Jakop khosaknae pueng hlak hai BAWIPA ni Zion longkha a lungpatawhnawn.

The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Oe Cathut e khopui, na kong heh ka sungren poung lah ouk a dei awh. (Selah)

Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God.

“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.’”

5 Zion kong dawk hettelah a dei awh han. Het hoi hot teh ama dawk hoi ka tâcawt e doeh. Lathueng Poung ni a ma teh, a caksak telah ati awh han.

And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”
