Masalimo 87

1 Salimo la Ana a Kora. Iye wakhazikitsa maziko ake pa phiri loyera;

A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 Yehova amakonda zipata za Ziyoni kupambana malo onse okhalamo a Yakobo.

The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Za ulemerero wako zimakambidwa, Iwe mzinda wa Mulungu: (Sela)

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

4 “Ndidzanena za Rahabe ndi Babuloni pakati pa iwo amene amandidziwa. Dzikonso la Filisitiya, Turo pamodzi ndi Kusi, ndipo ndidzati, ‘Uyu anabadwira mʼZiyoni.’”

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there.

5 Ndithudi, za Ziyoni adzanena kuti, “Uyu ndi uyo anabadwira mwa iye, ndipo Wammwambamwamba adzakhazikitsa iyeyo.”

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

6 Yehova adzalemba mʼbuku la kawundula wa anthu a mitundu ina: “Uyu anabadwira mʼZiyoni.” (Sela)

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the peoples, this one was born there. (Selah)

7 Oyimba ndi ovina omwe adzati, “Akasupe anga onse ali mwa iwe.”

They that sing as well as they that dance [shall say], All my fountains are in thee.
