1A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation [is] in the holy mountains.

2The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this [man] was born there.

5And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

6The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, [that] this [man] was born there. Selah.

7As well the singers as the players on instruments [shall be there]: all my springs [are] in thee.
