The LORD Loves the Gates of Zion
A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. 1He has founded His city on the holy mountains.Literally His foundation is on the holy mountains 2The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 3Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God. Selah 4“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”Rahab is a poetic name for Egypt.That is, the upper Nile region 5And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.” 6The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah 7Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
