What is the meaning of "ul'Tziyon Ye'amer Ish v'Ish Yulad Bah"?

1.

Rashi #1: When [the nations] will bring [Jews in their lands] to Tziyon, for a gift to Hashem 1 , they will say about each 'he is from those exiled from you, and from their offspring.'

2.

Rashi #2: This praise that is now of Egypt and Bavel, it will turn to Yerushalayim; about it, they will say 'Ploni was born there.'

3.

Radak: In Tziyon, there are always many great, famous Chachamim about whom one can say 'they were born here' (as opposed to other lands - refer to 87:4:3:3).

4.

Malbim: For Tziyon, I must mention every individual found in it. Each individual completes the Klal. Just like every limb completes a living being - each is needed for completeness of the body (as opposed to other nations - refer to 87:4:1:6).
