² The Lord has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob.

⁶⁷ And he put the tent of Joseph on one side, and took not the tribe of Ephraim;

⁶⁸ But he took the tribe of Judah for himself, and the mountain of Zion, in which he had pleasure.

⁶⁹ And he made his holy place like the high heaven, like the earth which is fixed by him for ever.

¹³ For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place.

¹⁴ This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire.

⁵ But let your hearts be turned to the place which will be marked out by the Lord your God, among your tribes, to put his name there;

³² What answer, then, will my people give to the representatives of the nation? That the Lord is the builder of Zion, and she will be a safe place for the poor of his people.

⁶ But now I have made selection of Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and of David, to be over my people Israel.
