2 diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Iacob.

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

I will record Rahab and Babylon [Confusion] among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

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

Yes, of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” haElyon [the Most High] himself will establish her.

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