Zion refers to Jerusalem, especially the hill associated with God’s sanctuary and the Davidic worship center. In this psalm, Zion’s “perfection of beauty” matters because God’s appearing from there portrays him as the sovereign Judge revealing his glory from the place he chose for his covenant people.
