New International Version (NIV)

16why gaze in envy, you rugged mountain,

at the mountain where God chooses to reign,

where the Lord himself will dwell forever?

16Why do you look with envy, you mountains of many peaks,

At the mountain God has desired as His dwelling?

Indeed, the Lord will dwell there forever.

16Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks,

At the mountain which God has desired for His abode?

Surely the Lord will dwell there forever.

16Why do you look with envy, mountains with many peaks,

At the mountain [of the city of Zion] which God has desired for His dwelling place?

Yes, the Lord will dwell there forever.

16Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks?

This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling,

where the Lord will surely dwell forever.

16Why are you jealous of Mount Zion, you rocky mountain?

That’s where God chooses to rule.

That’s where the Lord himself will live forever.
