A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.
1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
Mu Kukudziwa kwe Jerusalema
1 Mu dombo lakayengemala kumile nzi wawakasika,
2 Yahwe banoda mikoba ye Ziyoni
kupinda magalo wose a Jakubo.
3 Zwithu zwibuyanana zolebgwa nge kuko,
iwe nzi nkulu we Ndzimu.
4 Pakati kwa ibabo banondiziba,
ndonanga Rahabhu ne Bhabhiloni,
Filisitiya na iyebo, ne Tire ne Itopiya banoti,
“Iwoyo wakazwaligwa ikweno.”
5 Ngono ngekwe Ziyoni kowolebgwa kuyi,
“Uwoyo na uwouje bakazwaligwa muwuli.”
Ngobe iwo Upezhugwi pezhugwi ngekwawo unowousika.
6 Yahwe banokwala beti abe kwalisa zwitjaba.
“Iwoyu wakazwaligwa ikweno.”
7 Bambi ne bazani ngofanana banoti,
“Misenya yangu yose imumuli.”
