Requiem For the Flatlander

“His foundation is in the holy mountains. ² The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the other dwelling places of Jacob. ³ Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. ⁴ “I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me; Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia: ‘This one was born there.’” ⁵ But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; And the Most High Himself will establish her. ⁶ The Lord will count when He registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” ⁷ Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes shall say, “All my springs of joy are in you.”
