2 diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Iacob.

Jehovah loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei.

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

4 Memor ero Rahab, et Babylonis scientium me. Ecce alienigenæ, et Tyrus, et populus Æthiopum, hi fuerunt illic.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among those who know me. Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This man was born there.

5 Numquid Sion dicet: Homo, et homo natus est in ea: et ipse fundavit eam Altissimus?

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, this and that man was born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.

6 Dominus narrabit in scripturis populorum, et principum: horum, qui fuerunt in ea.

Jehovah will count when he writes up the peoples: This man was born there. (Selah)

7 Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.

Those who sing as well as those who dance shall say, All my fountains are in thee.
