New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 The LORD has built his city on the holy mountain.

2 He loves the city of Zion more than all of the other places where the people of Jacob live.

3 City of God, the LORD says glorious things about you. "Selah"

4 He says, "I will include Egypt and Babylon in a list of those who recognize me as king. I will also include Philistia and Tyre, along with Cush. I will say about them, 'They were born in Zion.' "

5 Certainly it will be said about Zion, "This nation and that nation were born in her. The Most High God himself will make her secure."

6 Here is what the LORD will write in his list of the nations. "Each of them was born in Zion." "Selah"

New International Version NIV

1 He has founded his city on the holy mountain.

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

3 Glorious things are said of you, city of God:

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 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 in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

7 As they make music they will sing, “All my fountains are in you.”
