Psalms 86:1-5

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

²The Lord loves the gates of Sion, more than all the tabernacles of Jacob.

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

⁴I will make mention of Raab 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, Sion is my mother; and such a man was born in her; and the Highest himself has founded her.
