The Lord loves the gates of Zion

1
A psalm of the sons of Korah; a song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
2
Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.
3
Glorious things are said of you, city of God. Selah.
4
“I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Ethiopia-and will say, ‘This one was born there.’”
5
Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was born in her; and the Most High himself will establish her.”
6
Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” Selah.
7
So also the singers and the dancers say together, “All my fountains are in you.”
