3 Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah.
4 "I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me; Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia: 'This one was born there.'"
5 But of Zion it shall be said, "This one and that one were born in her"; And the Most High Himself will establish her.
6 The LORD will count when He registers the peoples, "This one was born there." Selah.
7 Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes shall say, "All my springs of joy are in you."
