Salme 87

1 Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang. Sin Stad, grundfæstet paa hellige Bjerge, har HERREN kær,

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

2 Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

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

3 Der siges herlige Ting om dig, du Guds Stad. (Sela)

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

4 Jeg nævner Rahab og Babel blandt dem, der kender HERREN, Filisterland, Tyrus og Kusj: en fødtes her, en anden 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 Zion kalder man Moder, der fødtes enhver, den Højeste holder det selv ved Magt.

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 tæller efter i Folkeslagenes Liste, en fødtes her, en anden der. (Sela)

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

7 Syngende og dansende siger de: »Alle mine Kilder er i dig!«

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