Salme 87

1 Han har grundlagt en Stad paa de hellige Bjerge.

A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in 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 spoken about 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 will record Rahab and Babylon amongst those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “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.

Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” 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 count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

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

Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”
