O city of God. [fn]Selah.

Behold, Philistia and Tyre with [fn]Ethiopia:
‘This one was born there.’”
Psa 87:5But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”;
And the Most High Himself will establish her.
Psa 87:6The LORD will count when He registers the peoples,
“This one was born there.” Selah.

“All my springs of joy are in you.”
