Tingtoeng 87

1 Korah Koca rhoek kah Tingtoeng Laa Tlang cim dongah a khoengim aka sut tih,

A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. The Lord founded the city on his holy mountain.

Jerusalem is the city that the Lord loves more than any other city in Israel.

Many wonderful things are said of you, city of God! (Selah)

4 Kai aka ming rhoek taengah Rahab neh Babylon he ka thoelh ni. Tekah khopuei long ni Philistia, Tyre neh Kusah khaw a sak ne.

I mention Egypt and Babylon as those who know me, and in addition Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia—“this man was born there.”

5 Zion te khaw pakhat phoeiah pakhat loh, “Anih loh n'cun dongah Khohni loh a thoh bitni,” a ti uh ni.

It will be said concerning Jerusalem, “Everyone was born there,” and the Most High will make it secure.

6 Tekah a sak pilnam te BOEIPA loh a tae vetih ming a daek ni. (Selah)

When the Lord registers the nations, he will write, “They were born there.” (Selah)

Singers and dancers alike say, “Living here I am at home.”
