2

Much more than Jacobs dwellings all,
the Lord loves Sion gates.

3

Like glorious things have not been heard,
nor moderne, nor of old;
To God, thou City most endear'd,
as have of thee been told.

Selah.

In my remembrance Rahab runnes,
and Babel, knowing mee:
Loe Palestine, and Tyre, thy sonnes,
with Cush, there borne was hee.

5

And of thee, Sion, shall be said,
the mother of us all,
Whom the Most-Hie so firme hath laid,
shall man and man thee call.

the Lord shall first begin;
And say, when he their names recites,
This man was borne therein.

Selah.

“My springs are all in thee.
