A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

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

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me: Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This one was born there.

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

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; And the Most High himself will establish her.

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

Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

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

They that sing as well as they that dance [shall say], All my fountains are in thee.
