1Ein Psalm der Nachkommen Korachs. Hoch auf dem heiligen Berg liegt die vom HERRN erbaute Stadt. (Ps 78,68; Jes 28,16)2Er liebt die Stadt Jerusalem mehr als alle anderen Städte in Israel.[1] (Ps 78,67)3Herrliches erzählt man sich von dir, du Stadt Gottes! (Ps 46,5; Ps 48,9; Jes 60,1)4»Ich rechne Ägypten[2] und Babel zu denen, die mich kennen – ebenso das Philisterland und Tyrus, ja selbst das ferne Äthiopien[3]. Sie alle sind dort geboren!« (Ps 45,13; Ps 68,32; Jes 19,23)5Doch von Jerusalem[4] wird es heißen: »Alle seine Bewohner sind darin geboren!« Und der Höchste selbst wird die Stadt beschützen. (Ps 48,9)6Wenn der HERR die Völker aufzählt, wird er sagen: »Dieses Volk ist in Jerusalem geboren.« (Jes 4,2)7Und die Menschen werden tanzen und singen: »Alle meine Quellen sind in dir, Jerusalem!« (Ps 36,10)
1The LORD has built his city on the holy mountain.2He loves the city of Zion more than all the other places where the people of Jacob live.3City of God, the LORD says glorious things about you.4He says, ‘I will include Egypt and Babylon in a list of nations who recognise me as king. I will also include Philistia and Tyre, along with Cush. I will say about them, “They were born in Zion.” ’5Certainly it will be said about Zion, ‘This nation and that nation were born in it. The Most High God himself will make it secure.’6Here is what the LORD will write in his list of the nations. ‘Each of them was born in Zion.’7As they make music they will sing, ‘Zion, all our blessings come from you.’
1A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded; (Ps 42,1; Ps 48,1; Jes 28,16)2the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. (Ps 78,67)3Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. (Ps 46,4; Jes 54,1; Jes 60,1)4Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush[1]— “This one was born there,” they say. (Hi 9,13; Ps 36,10; Ps 68,31; Jes 19,22; Joh 10,14)5And of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; for the Most High himself will establish her. (Ps 48,8)6The Lord records as he registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” (Ps 69,28)7Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.” (2Sam 6,14; Ps 36,9; Ps 68,25; Jes 12,3; Offb 21,6)
