1 Шта је сам основао на горама светим,

The city that Yahweh established is on his sacred hill.

2 Врата сионска љуби Господ више свих станова Јаковљевих,

He loves that city, Jerusalem, more than he loves any other city in Israel.

3 Славно казују за Тебе, граде Божји!

[You people in] [APO] the city that God (owns/lives in), people say wonderful things about your city.

4 "Међу оне, који ме знају, бројаћу Мисир и Вавилон. Гле и Филистеји и Тир с етиопском онде су се родили."

[Some of those who know about God are the people of] Egypt and Babylonia, and also [the people of] Philistia and Tyre and Ethiopia; [some day they all] will say, “[Although I was not born in Jerusalem], [because I belong to Yahweh, it is as though] I was born there.”

5 О Сиону ће се говорити: Тај се и тај родио у њему; сам Вишњи утврђује га.

And concerning Jerusalem, people will say [“It is as though] everyone was born there, and Almighty God will cause that city to remain strong/safe/secure.”

6 Господ ће у препису народа завикати: Овај се родио у њему.

Yahweh will write a list of [the names of] the people of various groups [who belong to him], and he will say that [he considers them] all to be citizens of Jerusalem.

7 И који певају и веселе се, сви су извори моји у Теби.

They will all dance and sing, saying, “Jerusalem is the source of all our blessings.”
