可拉後裔的詩歌。錫安頌
耶和華所立的根基在聖山上。
His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2耶和华爱锡安的门, 胜于爱雅各一切的住处。The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3神的城啊, 有荣耀的事是指着你说的。(细拉)Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
4我要提起拉哈伯☛“拉哈伯”是神话故事中的大海怪。和巴比伦人, 是在认识我之中的; 看哪,非利士、推罗和古实人, 个个生在那里。I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
5论到锡安,必有话说: “这一个、那一个都生在其中”; 而且至高者必亲自坚立这城。And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
6当耶和华记录万民的时候, 他要写出人的出生地。(细拉)The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
7歌唱的、跳舞的,都要说: “我的泉源都在你里面。”☛本节七十士译本是“他们都以住在你里面为乐。”As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
