| Good News Translation (GNT) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 The Lord built his city on the sacred hill;
|
1 He has set his foundation on the holy mountain;
|
|
2 more than any other place in Israel he loves the city of Jerusalem.
|
2 the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
|
|
3 Listen, city of God, to the wonderful things he says about you:
|
3 Glorious things are said of you, O city of God: "Selah"
|
|
4 "I will include Egypt and Babylonia when I list the nations that obey me; the people of Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia I will number among the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
|
4 "I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me-- Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush-- and will say, 'This one was born in Zion.' "
|
|
5 Of Zion it will be said that all nations belong there and that the Almighty will make her strong.
|
5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her."
|
|
6 The Lord will write a list of the peoples and include them all as citizens of Jerusalem.
|
6 The LORD will write in the register of the peoples: "This one was born in Zion." "Selah"
|
|
7 They dance and sing, "In Zion is the source of all our blessings."
|
7 As they make music they will sing, "All my fountains are in you."
