Ps. 87: Out of Zion

Psalm 87:5 "Indeed, of Zion it will be said, 'This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.'"

Here's a song about the importance of the land of Zion to God, the most high. Zion is the foundation, the establishment. From what I've read in scripture, Zion could mean the promised land, Israel, or Jerusalem. Anyway, it's quite prophetic. 

God views the gates of Zion as more important than the dwellings of Jacob. Why would the Psalmist say that? The gates are loved more than all the dwellings...

I guess on the surface, without gates, there is no safety or protection in dwellings. Enemies could come right in and just run amok.

But something is going to happen. Zion will be so important, that it will be historically recorded that someone, certain people, will have been born there. A person by which the Most High (God) will establish himself. Could those who are recorded to have acknowledged this establishment in verse (Egypt, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre) be the same people worshipping God from Psalm 86? I dun't know. This person, this one, this fountain, will have been born in Zion.
