Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah and their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.

In Judah is God known: His name is great in Israel.

But chose the tribe of Judah, The mount Zion which he loved.

Zion heard and was glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
