“A psalm of the sons of Korah.” His foundation is in the holy mountains;

2 Jehova nĩendete ihingo cia Zayuni gũkĩra ciikaro iria ingĩ ciothe cia Jakubu.

Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Maũndũ mega nĩmaragio igũrũ rĩaku, wee itũũra inene rĩa Ngai:

Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God! (Pause)

4 “Nĩngwandĩka ũhoro wa Rahabu na wa Babuloni thĩinĩ wa arĩa manjũũĩ, Filistia o nakuo, na Turo, hamwe na Kushi, njuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ aaciarĩirwo Zayuni.’”

“I name Egypt and Babylon among them that know me; Behold! Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia, —They also were born there.”

5 Ti-itherũ, ũhoro wa Zayuni ũkĩario nĩgũkagwetagwo atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ o na ũũrĩa maaciarĩirwo kuo, na Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno we mwene nĩagatũma gũtũũre kũrĩ kũrũmu.”

And of Zion it shall be said, “Men of every nation were born there, And the Most High hath established her.”

6 Jehova nĩakandĩka ibuku-inĩ rĩa kĩrĩndĩ ũũ: “Ũyũ aaciarĩirwo Zayuni.”

Jehovah, when he numbereth the nations, shall write, “These were born there!” (Pause)

7 Nao magĩtunga nyĩmbo makaina atĩrĩ, “Ithima ciakwa ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ waku.”

Singers as well as dancers, —All my springs are in thee!
