Salme 87

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

A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Its foundations are in the holy mountains:

2 Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

the Lord loves the gates of Zion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are being said of 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 be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold, the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these have been there.

5 Men Zion kalder man Moder, der fødtes enhver, den Højeste holder det selv ved Magt.

Will not Zion say that this man and that man were born in her? And the Most High himself has founded her.

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

The Lord will explain, in the writings of peoples and of leaders, about those who have been in her.

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

For so the dwelling place within you is with all rejoicing.
