- 1The LORD built his city on the holy hills.
- 2He loves the gates of Zion more than any other place in Israel.
- 3Wonderful things are said about you, City of God. Selah
- 4God says, “Some of my people live in Egypt[1] and Babylon. Some of them were born in Philistia, Tyre, and even Ethiopia.”

- 6The LORD keeps a list of all his people, and he knows where each of them was born. Selah
- 7At the festivals, people will dance and sing, “All good things come from Zion.”
