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. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

The LORD loveth 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 spoken of Thee, O city of God. (Selah)

4 Jeg nævner Rahab og Babel blandt dem, der kender HERREN, Filisterland, Tyrus og Kusj: en fødtes her, en anden der.

'I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know Me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there.'

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

But of Zion it shall be said: 'This man and that was born in her; and the Most High Himself doth establish her.'

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

The LORD shall count in the register of the peoples: 'This one was born there.' (Selah)

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

And whether they sing or dance, all my thoughts are in Thee.
