2The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
2The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

4“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush— when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”
4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
5And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”
5And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
6The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah
6The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
7Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
7As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
Your pair of translations is remembered on this device for other chapters.
