The LORD Loves the Gates of Zion
A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.
1He has founded His city
on the holy mountains.[1]
2The LORD loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3Glorious things are ascribed to you,
O city of God.
Selah
4“I will mention Rahab and Babylon[2]
among those who know Me —
along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush —[3]
when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”
5And it will be said of Zion:
“This one and that one were born in her,
and the Most High Himself will establish her.”
6The LORD will record in the register of the peoples:
“This one was born in Zion.”
Selah
7Singers and pipers will proclaim,
“All my springs of joy are in You.”
