5 And of Zion it shall be sayde, Many are borne in her: and he, euen the most High shall stablish her.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

6 The Lord shall count, when hee writeth the people, He was borne there. (Selah)

The LORD shall count, when he writes up the people, that this man was born there. (Selah)

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in you.
