Salme 87

1 Han har grundlagt en Stad paa de hellige Bjerge.

A psalm of the sons of Korah; a song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

2 Herren elsker Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are said of 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.‟

“I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush— and will say, 'This one was born there.'”

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

Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was 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)

Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

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

So also the singers and the dancers say together, “All my fountains are in you.”
