On the holy mountain is his city
cherished by the Lord.
The Lord prefers the gates of Sion
to all Jacob's dwellings.
Of you are told glorious things,
O city of God!
'Babylon and Egypt I will count
among those who know me;
Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia,
these shall be her children
and Sion shall be called "Mother"
for all shall be her children.'
It is he, the Lord Most High,
who gives each his place.
In his register of peoples he writes:
'These are her children'
and while they dance they will sing:
'In you all find their home.'
