2. 2

   our Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the Tabernacles of Jacob.

3. 3

   Glorious things are said of thee, o city of God.

4. 4

   I will be mindful of Rahab, and Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, & the people of the Æthiopians, these were there.

5. 5

   Shall it not be said of Sion: Man and man, is born in her; and the Highest himself founded her?

6. 6

   Our Lord will declare in scriptures of peoples, and of Princes: of those that have been in her.

   The habitation in thee, is as it were of all rejoicing.
