Salme 87

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

Of the Korahites, a psalm. A song. On the holy mountain stands the city he founded.

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 he is speaking of you, you 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.

“Among those who are mine I name Rahab and Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia, their people will say I was born in Zion.

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

As for Zion it will be said each and all were born in her.” The Lord will preserve her.

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

The Lord will count, when enrolling the peoples, “This one was born there, and that one was born there.” (Selah)

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

Singers and dancers alike will say “All my springs are in you.”
