1 A Psalme or song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God layde his foundations among the holy mountaines.

For the Sons of Korah. A Melody, a Song. His foundation, is in the holy mountains:

2 The Lord loueth the gates of Zion aboue all the habitations of Iaakob.

Yahweh loveth the gates of Zion, More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O citie of God. (Selah)

Glorious things, are to be spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babel among them that knowe me: beholde Palestina and Tyrus with Ethiopia, There is he borne.

I will mention Rahab and Babylon, to them who know me—Lo! Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia, This one was born there.

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

But, of Zion, it shall be said—This man and that were 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)

Yahweh, will record, when he enrolleth the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

7 Aswell the singers as the players on instruments shall prayse thee: all my springs are in thee.

As well the singers as the flute-players [are saying], —All my springs, are in thee!
