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

A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. A SONG. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.

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

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

Honorable things are spoken in You, O city of God. (Selah)

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

I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there.

5 But, of Zion, it shall be said—This man and that were born in her, And the Highest himself shall establish her.

And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, establishes her.

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

YHWH recounts in the describing of the peoples, “This [one] was born there.” (Selah)

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

Also singers as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in You!
