3 Glorious things are spoken of Thee, O city of God. (Selah)

5 But of Zion it shall be said: 'This man and that was born in her; and the Most High Himself doth establish 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 in the register of the peoples: 'This one was born there.' (Selah)

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

7 And whether they sing or dance, all my thoughts are in Thee.

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