The Lord loves the gates of Zion

1
His foundation is in the holy mountains.(a)

The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3
Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
4
I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
5
And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
6
The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
7
As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
