A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.
1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there
. Selah.
7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
A prayer of one under grievous affliction: it agrees to Christ in his passion, and alludes to His death and burial. Zion as the highest enjoyment for God and His begotten and registered people.
