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

2 Olúwa fẹ́ràn ẹnu-ọ̀nà Sioni ju gbogbo ibùgbé Jakọbu lọ.

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

3 Ohun ológo ni a sọ nípa rẹ̀, ìlú Ọlọ́run,

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

4 “Èmi ó dárúkọ Rahabu àti Babeli láàrín àwọn tí ó jẹ́wọ́ mi: Filistia pẹ̀lú, àti Tire, pẹ̀lú Kuṣi, yóò sọ pé, ‘Èyí ni a bí ní Sioni.’”

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

5 Nítòótọ́, ti Sioni ni a ó sọ, “Eléyìí àti eléyìí ni a bí nínú rẹ̀, àti Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo ni yóò fìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀.”

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

6 Olúwa yóò kọ nínú àkọsílẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀: “Eléyìí ni a bí ní Sioni.”

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