Salme 87

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

For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:

2 Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are said of thee, 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 were there.

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

Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.

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

The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.

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

The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.
