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

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

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

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

3 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. (Selah)

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

4 I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Look, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: "This one was born there."

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

5 Yes, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one was born in her;" the Most High himself will 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 will count, when he writes up the peoples, "This one was born there." (Selah)

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

7 And those who sing as well as the pipers: "My whole source of joy is in you."

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