The Privileges of Citizenship in Zion.
A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.
His Afoundation is in the holy mountains.
The Lord Aloves the gates of Zion
More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.
AGlorious things are spoken of you,
O Bcity of God. 1
Selah.
“I shall mention 1ARahab and Babylon 2among those who know Me;
Behold, Philistia and BTyre with 3CEthiopia:
This one was born there.’”
But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”;
And the Most High Himself will Aestablish her.
The Lord will count when He Aregisters the peoples,
This one was born there.”
Selah.
Then those who Asing as well as those who 1Bplay the flutes shall say,
All my Csprings of joy are in you.”
