1 For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are the holy mountains:
1 Filiis Core. Psalmus cantici. Fundamenta ejus in montibus sanctis;
2 The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
2 diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Jacob.
3 Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.
3 Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei!
4 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.
4 Memor ero Rahab et Babylonis, scientium me; ecce alienigenæ, et Tyrus, et populus Æthiopum, hi fuerunt illic.
5 Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.
5 Numquid Sion dicet: Homo et homo natus est in ea, et ipse fundavit eam Altissimus?
6 The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.
6 Dominus narrabit in scripturis populorum et principum, horum qui fuerunt in ea.
7 The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.
7 Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.
