A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah.
1On the holy mountain
stands the city founded by the Lord.
2He loves the city of Jerusalem
more than any other city in Israel.
3O city of God,
what glorious things are said of you!
Interlude
4I will count Egypt and Babylon among those who know me—
also Philistia and Tyre, and even distant Ethiopia.
They have all become citizens of Jerusalem!
5Regarding Jerusalem it will be said,
“Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there.”
And the Most High will personally bless this city.
6When the Lord registers the nations, he will say,
“They have all become citizens of Jerusalem.”
Interlude
7The people will play flutes and sing,
“The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!”

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.”
