Glorious things are spoken

His foundation is in the holy mountains. The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the homes of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah. I'll make mention of Rahab and Babylon among those who know me; see Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this man was born there. And of Zion it'll be said: This one and that one were born in her. And the Most High himself will set her up. The LORD will count, when he records the peoples, ‘This man was born there.’ Selah. The singers and the players will be there. All my springs are in you.
