The Lord loves the gates of Zion and he himself shall establish her.

 HIS ^afoundation^• is in the holy mountains.

 The LORD loveth the ^agates^• of ^bZion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my ^asprings^• are in thee.
