1 Zvavanakomana vaKora. Pisarema. Rwiyo. Akateya nheyo dzake pagomo dzvene;

A Psalm of a Song for the sons of Core. His foundations are in the holy mountains.

2 Jehovha anoda masuo eZioni kupfuura pose panogara Jakobho.

The Lord loves the gates of Sion, more than all the tabernacles of Jacob.

3 Zvinhu zvakaisvonaka zvinotaurwa pamusoro pako, iwe guta raMwari: Sera

Glorious things have been spoken of you, O city of God. (Pause)

4 “Ndichanyora nezvaRahabhi neBhabhironi pakati pavanondiziva, neFiristiawo neTire, pamwe chete neEtiopia, uye vachati, ‘Uyu akaberekerwa muZioni.’”

I will make mention of Raab and Babylon to them that know me: behold also the Philistines, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these were born there.

5 Zvirokwazvo, pamusoro peZioni vachati, “Uyu nowoyo vakaberekerwamo, uye Wokumusoro-soro pachake acharisimbisa.”

A man shall say, Sion [is my] mother; and [such] a man was born in her; and the Highest himself has founded her.

6 Jehovha achanyora panonyorwa mazita amarudzi, kuti, “Uyu akaberekerwa muZioni.” Sera

The Lord shall recount [it] in the writing of the people, and of these princes that were born in her.

7 Pavanoimba, vachaimba vachiti, “Matsime angu ose ari mamuri.”

The dwelling of all within you is [as the dwelling] of those that rejoice.
