Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
1 The Lord built his city on the sacred hill;
1
He has founded his city 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 other dwellings of Jacob.
3 Listen, city of God, to the wonderful things he says about you:
3
Glorious things are said of you, city of God:
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.”
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.”
