Listen, city of God, to the wonderful things he says about you:
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.’ ”
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."
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.”
5
Of Zion it will be said that all nations belong there and that the Almighty will make her strong.
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.”

They dance and sing, "In Zion is the source of all our blessings."
