1 Zion, founded on the mountain, God, your maker, loves you well. 2 More than all of Jacob’s dwellings God delights in you to dwell. 3 Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of the LORD: Your renown is celebrated by nations around the world. 4 “I’ll record all those who know me: Rahab, Babylon, and Tyre, people of all tribes and nations will come and join the choir.” 5 Yes, it will be said of Zion, “This and that one here belong; upon it the Highest’s blessing will descend, and make it strong.” 6 The Most High will make this decree: “In my register I’ll count people of all tribes and nations as born on Zion’s holy mount.” 7 They will come from all earth’s corners, sing to God who keeps them strong. “Zion, all my springs are in you!” shall be their continual song. – Stephen Benner
