Psalms 86:1-7

¹A Psalm of a Song for the sons of Korah. His foundations are in the holy mountains.

²The Lord loves the gates of Zion, More than all the tabernacles of Jacob.

³Glorious things have been spoken of thee, O city of God. Pause.

⁴I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: Behold also the Philistines, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: These were born there.

⁵A man shall say, Zion is my mother; And such a man was born in her; And the Highest himself has founded her.

⁶The Lord shall recount it in the writing of the people, And of these princes that were born in her. Pause.

⁷The dwelling of all within thee is as the dwelling of those that rejoice.
