Salme 87

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

A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. 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 to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this [man] was born there.

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

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

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

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, [that] this [man] was born there. (Selah)

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

As well the singers as the players on instruments [shall be there: ] all my springs [are] in thee.
