1 Abụ Ọma ụmụ Kora. Otu Abụ. Chineke atọọla ntọala ya nʼelu ugwu nsọ ahụ;

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

2 Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ọnụ ụzọ ama Zayọn nʼanya, karịa ebe obibi niile nke Jekọb.

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

3 Ihe dị iche iche nke dị ebube ka a na-ekwu banyere gị, O obodo Chineke; (Sela)

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

4 “Aga m agụnye Rehab na Babilọn, dịka ndị na-asọpụrụ m, aga m agụnyekwa ndị Filistia, na ndị Taịa, na ndị Kush, aga m asị, ‘A mụrụ nke a na Zayọn.’”

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

5 Nʼezie, a ga-ekwu okwu banyere Zayọn sị, “A mụrụ nke a na nke ọzọ nʼime ya, ya onwe ya, bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, ga-eme ka o guzosie ike.”

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

6 Onyenwe anyị ga-ede nʼime akwụkwọ usoro nke ndị mmadụ: “A mụrụ onye a na Zayọn.”

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

7 Dịka ha na-eti egwu, ha ga-abụ abụ sị, “Isi iyi m niile dị na gị.”

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