The Lord loves the gates of Zion

A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. A SONG. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.

YHWH is loving the gates of Zion || Above all the dwelling places of Jacob.
3
Honorable things are spoken in You, || O city of God. Selah.
4
I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, || Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there.
5
And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, || And He, the Most High, establishes her.
6
YHWH recounts in the describing of the peoples, “This [one] was born there.” Selah.
7
Also singers as players on instruments, || All my fountains [are] in You!
