Spectacular things are said about you,
    O Jerusalem, city of the True God.

[pause][a]

God says, “I tell of some who know Me in Egypt[b] and Babylon;
    behold, My people are in Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia[c] too:
    ‘This person was born there.’”

It is said of Zion,
    “This person and that person were born in her.”
    The Most High God has established that city and makes her strong.
