Žalmy 87

1 Synům Chóre, žalm a píseň. Základ svůj na horách svatých.

The city that Yahweh established is on his sacred hill.

2 Milujeť Hospodin, totiž brány Sionské, nade všecky příbytky Jákobovy.

He loves that city, Jerusalem, more than he loves any other city in Israel.

3 Přeslavnéť jsou to věci, kteréž se o tobě hlásají, ó město Boží. (Sélah)

[You people in] [APO] the city that God (owns/lives in), people say wonderful things about your city.

4 Připomínati budu Egypt a Babylon před svými známými, ano i Filistinské a Tyrské i Mouřeníny, že se tu každý z nich narodil.

[Some of those who know about God are the people of] Egypt and Babylonia, and also [the people of] Philistia and Tyre and Ethiopia; [some day they all] will say, “[Although I was not born in Jerusalem], [because I belong to Yahweh, it is as though] I was born there.”

5 An i o Sionu praveno bude: Ten i onen jest rodem z něho, sám pak Nejvyšší utvrdí jej.

And concerning Jerusalem, people will say [“It is as though] everyone was born there, and Almighty God will cause that city to remain strong/safe/secure.”

6 Sečteť Hospodin při popisu národy, a dí, že tento se tu narodil. (Sélah)

Yahweh will write a list of [the names of] the people of various groups [who belong to him], and he will say that [he considers them] all to be citizens of Jerusalem.

7 Tou příčinou zpívají s plésáním o tobě všecky moci života mého.

They will all dance and sing, saying, “Jerusalem is the source of all our blessings.”
