1 Written by the Korahites; a psalm, a song. The Lord's city is in the holy hills.
2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.
3 People say wonderful things about you, O city of God. (Selah)
4 I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. Here are Philistia and Tyre, along with Ethiopia. It is said of them, "This one was born there."
5 But it is said of Zion's residents, "Each one of these was born in her, and the sovereign One makes her secure."
6 The Lord writes in the census book of the nations, "This one was born there." (Selah)
7 As for the singers, as well as the pipers -- all of them sing within your walls.
