Jerome's Latin Vulgate (405)
span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.78.1" class="versetxt"> Psalmus Asaph. [Deus, venerunt gentes in hæreditatem tuam;
polluerunt templum sanctum tuum;
posuerunt Jerusalem in pomorum custodiam.
Posuerunt morticina servorum tuorum escas volatilibus cæli;
carnes sanctorum tuorum bestiis terræ.
Effuderunt sanguinem eorum tamquam aquam in circuitu Jerusalem,
et non erat qui sepeliret.
Facti sumus opprobrium vicinis nostris;
subsannatio et illusio his qui in circuitu nostro sunt.
Usquequo, Domine, irasceris in finem?
accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus?
Effunde iram tuam in gentes quæ te non noverunt,
et in regna quæ nomen tuum non invocaverunt:
quia comederunt Jacob,
et locum ejus desolaverunt.
Ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum antiquarum;
cito anticipent nos misericordiæ tuæ,
quia pauperes facti sumus nimis.
Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster,
et propter gloriam nominis tui, Domine, libera nos:
et propitius esto peccatis nostris, propter nomen tuum.
Ne forte dicant in gentibus: Ubi est Deus eorum?
et innotescat in nationibus coram oculis nostris
ultio sanguinis servorum tuorum qui effusus est.
Introëat in conspectu tuo gemitus compeditorum;
secundum magnitudinem brachii tui posside filios mortificatorum:
et redde vicinis nostris septuplum in sinu eorum;
improperium ipsorum quod exprobraverunt tibi, Domine.
Nos autem populus tuus, et oves pascuæ tuæ,
confitebimur tibi in sæculum;
in generationem et generationem annuntiabimus laudem tuam.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But chose the tribe of Judah,.... Both to be the seat of kingly power and government, and of religious worship; the latter is chiefly designed. Jerusalem was, at least part of it, in the tribe of Judah: here David, who was of that tribe, dwelt, and Solomon his son, and all the kings of Judah afterwards; here the temple was built, into which the ark of the covenant was put, and whither the tribes went up to worship

the mount Zion, which he loved; where was the city of David; into which the ark was brought when removed from Gibeah, and on part of which the temple was built: the choice of this place, for such a purpose, was from love, Psalms 87:2, it was typical of the church, the choice of which also arises from the everlasting and unchangeable love of God to it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But chose the tribe of Judah - He chose David of the tribe of Judah as ruler and king; he chose a place within the limits of Judah, to wit, Mount Zion, or Jerusalem, as the place where his worship was to be celebrated. Thus, the ancient prediction in regard to the supremacy of Judah was accomplished. Genesis 49:8-10.

The Mount Zion, which he loved - Which he chose, for which he had an affection. Compare Psalms 87:2.
