לִבְנֵי־קֹ֭רַח מִזְמ֣וֹר שִׁ֑יר1 יְ֝סוּדָת֗וֹ בְּהַרְרֵי־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃

A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2

אֹהֵ֣ב יְ֭הוָה שַׁעֲרֵ֣י צִיּ֑וֹן מִ֝כֹּ֗ל מִשְׁכְּנ֥וֹת יַעֲקֹֽב׃

The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3

נִ֭כְבָּדוֹת מְדֻבָּ֣ר בָּ֑ךְ עִ֖יר הָאֱלֹהִ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃

Glorious things are spoken of Thee, O city of God. Selah

4

אַזְכִּ֤יר ׀ רַ֥הַב וּבָבֶ֗ל לְֽיֹ֫דְעָ֥י הִנֵּ֤ה פְלֶ֣שֶׁת וְצ֣וֹר עִם־כּ֑וּשׁ זֶ֝֗ה יֻלַּד־שָֽׁם׃

'I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know Me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there.'

5

וּֽלֲצִיּ֨וֹן ׀ יֵאָמַ֗ר אִ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִישׁ יֻלַּד־בָּ֑הּ וְה֖וּא יְכוֹנְנֶ֣הָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

But of Zion it shall be said: 'This man and that was born in her; and the Most High Himself doth establish her.'

6

יְֽהוָ֗ה יִ֭סְפֹּר בִּכְת֣וֹב עַמִּ֑ים זֶ֖ה יֻלַּד־שָׁ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃

The LORD shall count in the register of the peoples: 'This one was born there.' Selah

7

וְשָׁרִ֥ים כְּחֹלְלִ֑ים כָּֽל־מַעְיָנַ֥י בָּֽךְ׃

And whether they sing or dance, all my thoughts are in Thee.
