Salme 87

1 Han har grundlagt en Stad paa de hellige Bjerge.

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.

2 Herren elsker Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

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

3 Der er herlige Ting sagt i dig, du Guds Stad! (Sela)

Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God.

4 Jeg vil nævne Rahab og Babel iblandt dem, som kende mig; se, Filisteren og Tyrieren samt Morianen: „Denne, han er født der.‟

“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

5 Men til Zion skal der siges: Denne og hin er født i den, den Højeste selv skal befæste den.

And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

6 Herren skal tælle, naar han opskriver Folkene, og sige: „Denne er født der.‟ (Sela)

The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

7 Og de, som synge, tillige med dem, som danse, skulle sige: Alle mine Kilder ere i dig.

Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
