3. O city of God. Selah.

4. I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me:

4. behold Philis´ti-a, and Tyre, with Ethiopia;

4. this man was born there.

5. And of Zion it shall be said,

5. This and that man was born in her:

5. and the Highest himself shall establish her.

6. The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people,

6. that this man was born there. Selah.

7. As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there:

7. all my springs are in thee.
