1 Fundada por ele sobre os montes santos,

2 o Senhor ama as portas de Sião

mais do que as habitações todas de Jacó.

3 Gloriosas coisas se têm dito de ti,

ó cidade de Deus!

4 Dentre os que me conhecem, farei menção de Raabe e da Babilônia;

eis aí Filístia e Tiro com Etiópia;

lá, nasceram.

5 E com respeito a Sião se dirá:

Este e aquele nasceram nela;

e o próprio Altíssimo a estabelecerá.

6 O Senhor, ao registrar os povos, dirá:

Este nasceu lá.

7 Todos os cantores, saltando de júbilo, entoarão:

Todas as minhas fontes são em ti.

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken of you, 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 writes 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 you.
