1 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.
