¹ The Lord has built his city on the holy mountain. ² He loves the city of Zion more than all of the other places where the people of Jacob live. ³ City of God, the Lord says glorious things about you. Selah ⁴ He says, "I will include Egypt and Babylon in a list of those who recognize me as king. I will also include Philistia and Tyre, along with Cush. I will say about them, 'They were born in Zion.' " ⁵ Certainly it will be said about Zion, "This nation and that nation were born in her. The Most High God himself will make her secure." ⁶ Here is what the Lord will write in his list of the nations. "Each of them was born in Zion." Selah ⁷ As they make music they will sing, "Zion, all of our blessings come from you."
