1 Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha. Eɖo eƒe agunu anyi ɖe to Kɔkɔe la dzi.

A Psalm of a Song for the sons of Core. His foundations are in the holy mountains.

2 Yehowa lɔ̃ Zion ƒe agbowo wu Yakob ƒe nɔƒewo katã.

The Lord loves the gates of Sion, more than all the tabernacles of Jacob.

3 O! Mawu ƒe du, wogblɔ nu nyui geɖewo tso ŋuwò. (Sela)

Glorious things have been spoken of thee, O city of God. (Pause)

4 “Maŋlɔ Rahab kple Babilon ƒe ŋkɔ ɖe ame siwo nyam la dome, nenema kee nye Filistia kple Tiro hekpe ɖe Kus ŋuti, magblɔ be, ‘Wodzi esia le Zion.’”

I will make mention of Raab and Babylon to them that know me: behold also the Philistines, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these were born there.

5 Vavã, woagblɔ le Zion ŋu be, “Wodzi esia kple ekemɛ le afi ma, eye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ŋutɔ aɖo egɔme anyi.”

A man shall say, Sion [is my] mother; and [such] a man was born in her; and the Highest himself has founded her.

6 Yehowa aŋlɔ ɖe dukɔwo ƒe agbalẽ me be, “Wodzi esia le Zion.” (Sela)

The Lord shall recount [it] in the writing of the people, and of these princes that were born in her.

7 Ne wole ha dzim la, woadzi ha be, “Nye agunuwo katã le mewò.”

The dwelling of all within thee is [as the dwelling] of those that rejoice.
