This Psalm follows a theme that is found in several others, namely the special place of Zion (Jerusalem) in the heart of God.
There will come a time when glorious things are spoken of Jerusalem, even if now the world derides the city and considers it just to be a source of trouble.
There is debate about how verse 4 should be translated. In the main translation in TNIV it speaks of other nations being counted amongst God's people. In the alternative translation, the nations are being addressed by God and being told by Him that Jerusalem is His treasured possession.
Whatever the case, the key theme is that Jerusalem is special, and a time will come when all the world will recognise this.
