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.

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High 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 peoples, this one was born there. (Selah)

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

They that sing as well as they that dance [shall say], All my fountains are in thee.
