A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.

1His afoundation is in the holy mountains.

More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.

3aGlorious things are spoken of you,

O bcity of God.

4“I shall mention 1aRahab and Babylon 2among those who know Me;

Behold, Philistia and bTyre with 3cEthiopia:

‘This one was born there.’ ”

And the Most High Himself will aestablish her.

6The Lord will count when He aregisters the peoples,

“This one was born there.”

“All my csprings of joy are in you.”
