The Book of Psalms

A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. A SONG. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.

YHWH is loving the gates of Zion || Above all the dwelling places of Jacob.

Honorable things are spoken in You, || O city of God. Selah.

I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, || Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there.

And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, || And He, the Most High, establishes her.

YHWH recounts in the describing of the peoples, “This [one] was born there.” Selah.

Also singers as players on instruments, || All my fountains [are] in You!

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah.

I will record Rahab

(a)

and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.

The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah.

Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”

(a)87:4 Rahab is a reference to Egypt.
