Opening the chapter…
The city is established on his holy mountain.
God loves that city, Jerusalem, more than he loves any other place in Israel.
All you people in Jerusalem, other people say wonderful things about your city.
And God said, "I will talk of Rahab and Babylon and the people there who know me. There are also Philistia and Tyre, along with Ethiopia, and they will say, 'This one was born in Zion.'"
Concerning Zion, people will say, "All of these people who were born far away, they call Jerusalem their home, and Almighty God will cause that city to remain strong."
God will write a list of the names of the people of various groups who belong to him, and he will say that he considers them all to be citizens of Jerusalem.
They will all dance and sing, saying, "Jerusalem is the source of all our blessings."
