1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

86:1 Filiis Core. Psalmus cantici. Fundamenta ejus in montibus sanctis;

2 The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

2 diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Jacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

3 Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei!

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

4 Memor ero Rahab et Babylonis, scientium me;
ecce alienigenæ, et Tyrus, et populus Æthiopum,
hi fuerunt illic.

5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

5 Numquid Sion dicet: Homo et homo natus est in ea,
et ipse fundavit eam Altissimus?

6 The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

6 Dominus narrabit in scripturis populorum et principum,
horum qui fuerunt in ea.

7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

7 Sicut lætantium omnium
habitatio est in te.
