Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 He founded Zion on the Holy Mountain -
1
By sons of Korah. -- A Psalm, a song. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.
2 and oh, how God loves his home! Loves it far better than all the homes of Jacob put together!
2
Jehovah is loving the gates of Zion Above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
3 God's hometown - oh! everyone there is talking about you!
3
Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. Selah.
4 I name them off, those among whom I'm famous: Egypt and Babylon, also Philistia, even Tyre, along with Cush. Word's getting around; they point them out: "This one was born again here!"
4
I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there.
5 The word's getting out on Zion: "Men and women, right and left, get born again in her!"
5
And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, doth establish her.
6 God registers their names in his book: "This one, this one, and this one - born again, right here."
6
Jehovah doth recount in the describing of the peoples, `This [one] was born there.' Selah.
7 Singers and dancers give credit to Zion: "All my springs are in you!"
7
Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in Thee!
