Verse 5 is found in chapter 87 of Psalms. Psalm 87 celebrates Zion as a city founded by God and presents a surprising vision of the nations. Egypt, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush are mentioned in relation to recognition of Zion. The language of birth turns belonging to the city of God into an identity reaching beyond Israel’s borders. The conclusion celebrates the sources of life and joy that come from God.

Man wird zu Zion sagen, daß allerlei Leute darin geboren werden und daß er, der Höchste, sie baue.
Y de Sion se dirá: Este y aquél han nacido en ella; Y fortificarala el mismo Altísimo.
De Sión se dirá: «Este y aquel nacieron en ella», y el Altísimo mismo la establecerá.
Et de Sion il est dit: Tous y sont nés, Et c'est le Très-Haut qui l'affermit.
E si dirà di Sion: Questi e quegli è nato in essa; E l’Altissimo stesso la stabilirà.
E de Sião se dirá: Este e aquele homem nasceram ali; e o mesmo Altíssimo a estabelecerá.
