Jerusalem » The names given to » City of God
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
Glorious things are spoken of you,
O city of God [Jerusalem]. Selah.
Zion » Called the city of God
“The sons of those who oppressed you will come bowing down to you [in submission],
And all those who despised you and treated you disrespectfully will bow down at the soles of your feet,
And they will call you the City of the Lord,
The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
The Lord loves the gates of Zion [through which the crowds of pilgrims enter from all nations] more than all the dwellings of Jacob (Israel). Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah [pause, and calmly realize what that means]!
