And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the Highest himself shall establish her. Again Zion's chief glory is set forth-namely, that it is chosen by God to be the spiritual birthplace of world. "This and that man" - i:e., each and every man that is spiritually born derives his birth from her (Galatians 3:26, "Jerusalem which is above ... is the mother of us all"). As the former (Psalms 87:4) refers to nations born anew, so this (Psalms 87:5) refers to individuals. Her greatness is not transitory like that of the world-cities. "The Highest Himself," and none else; not frail man (Psalms 47:2).
