87

Fundamenta ejusBCP p. 711

1On the holy mountain stands the city he has founded; *the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

2Glorious things are spoken of you, *O city of our God.

3I count Egypt and Babylon among those who know me; *behold Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia: in Zion were they born.

4Of Zion it shall be said, “Everyone was born in her, *and the Most High himself shall sustain her.”

5The Lord will record as he enrolls the peoples, *“These also were born there.”

6The singers and the dancers will say, *“All my fresh springs are in you.”
