1 Zion, founded on the mountain,
God, your maker, loves you well.
2 More than all of Jacob’s dwellings
God delights in you to dwell.
3 Glorious things of you are spoken,
Zion, city of the LORD:
Your renown is celebrated
by nations around the world.
4 “I’ll record all those who know me:
Rahab, Babylon, and Tyre,
people of all tribes and nations
will come and join the choir.”
5 Yes, it will be said of Zion,
“This and that one here belong;
upon it the Highest’s blessing
will descend, and make it strong.”
6 The Most High will make this decree:
“In my register I’ll count
people of all tribes and nations
as born on Zion’s holy mount.”
7 They will come from all earth’s corners,
sing to God who keeps them strong.
“Zion, all my springs are in you!”
shall be their continual song.
