The passage describes the Lord's love for Zion, the City of God, and its holy foundations. The city is glorious, and people from various nations, including Rahab, Babylon, Tyre, and Ethiopia, have been there. Zion will claim those born within her, and the Most High has founded her. The Lord will record the names of her inhabitants with rejoicing.
1 A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Its foundations are in the holy mountains 2 the Lord loves the gates of Zion above all the tabernacles of Jacob 3 Glorious things are being said of you, O City of God 4 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold, the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these have been there 5 Will not Zion say that this man and that man were born in her? And the Most High himself has founded her 6 The Lord will explain, in the writings of peoples and of leaders, about those who have been in her 7 For so the dwelling place within you is with all rejoicing
