¹ The LORD built his city on the sacred hill; ² more than any other place in Israel he loves the city of Jerusalem. ³ Listen, city of God, to the wonderful things he says about you: ⁴ "I will include Egypt and Babylonia when I list the nations that obey me; the people of Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia I will number among the inhabitants of Jerusalem." ⁵ Of Zion it will be said that all nations belong there and that the Almighty will make her strong. ⁶ The LORD will write a list of the peoples and include them all as citizens of Jerusalem. ⁷ They dance and sing, "In Zion is the source of all our blessings."
