*A Psalm or Song ||for the sons of Korah.
1His afoundation is in bthe holy mountains.
2The Lord cloveth the gates of Zion
More than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3Glorious things are spoken of thee,
O dcity of God. Selah.
4I will make mention of eRahab and fBabylon gto them that know me:
Behold Philistia, and Tyre, with hEthiopia;
This man was born ithere.
5And of iZion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her:
And the highest himself shall establish her.
6The Lord shall kcount, when he lwriteth up the people,
That this man was born there. Selah.
7As well the singers as the mplayers on instruments shall be there:
All my springs are in thee.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.
On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
the Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.
Glorious things of you are spoken,
O city of God. Selah
Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—
“This one was born there,” they say.
And of Zion it shall be said,
“This one and that one were born in her”;
for the Most High himself will establish her.
The Lord records as he registers the peoples,
“This one was born there.” Selah
Singers and dancers alike say,
“All my springs are in you.”

Glorious things are said of you,
city of God:
“I will record Rahab and Babylon
among those who acknowledge me—
Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush—
and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’ ”
Indeed, of Zion it will be said,
“This one and that one were born in her,
and the Most High himself will establish her.”
The Lord will write in the register of the peoples:
“This one was born in Zion.”
As they make music they will sing,
“All my fountains are in you.”
