[¶0] A Psalm [or] Song of the sons of Korah

[¶1] 1 His foundations [are] in the holy mountains.

[¶2] 2 Love doth Jehovah the gates of Zion More than all the tabernacles of Jacob.

[¶3] 3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God! Selah.

[¶4] 4 I will make mention of Rahab, and Babel among those who know me: Behold the Philistines, and Tyre, with Ethiopia, He is born there! Selah.

[¶5] 5 And of Zion it shall be said, “Man and man is born in her; “And the Most High himself will establish her.”

[¶6] 6 The Lord will recount when he writeth the peoples, “He is born there.” Selah.

[¶7] 7 And the singers as the players upon instruments: All my springs are in thee.
