¹ (A psalm and a song by the people of Korah.) Zion was built by the LORD on the holy mountain, ² and he loves that city more than any other place in all of Israel. ³ Zion, you are the city of God, and wonderful things are told about you. ⁴ Egypt, Babylonia, Philistia, Phoenicia, and Ethiopia are some of those nations that know you, and their people all say, "I was born in Zion." ⁵ God Most High will strengthen the city of Zion. Then everyone will say, "We were born here too." ⁶ The LORD will make a list of his people, and all who were born here will be included. ⁷ All who sing or dance will say, "I too am from Zion."
