Salme 87

1 Han har grundlagt en Stad paa de hellige Bjerge.

Of the Korahites, a psalm. A song. On the holy mountain stands the city he founded.

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 he is speaking of you, you city of God. (Selah)

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

“Among those who are mine I name Rahab and Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia, their people will say I was born in Zion.

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

As for Zion it will be said each and all were born in her.” The Lord will preserve her.

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

The Lord will count, when enrolling the peoples, “This one was born there, and that one was born there.” (Selah)

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

Singers and dancers alike will say “All my springs are in you.”
