The Privileges of Citizenship in Zion.

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion
          More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken of you,
          O city of God.


4 “I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me;
          Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia:
          ‘This one was born there.’”

5 But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”;
          And the Most High Himself will establish her.

6 The LORD will count when He registers the peoples,
          “This one was born there.”


7 Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes shall say,
          “All my springs of joy are in you.”
