Salme 87

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

For the Sons of Korah. A Melody, a Song. His foundation, is in the holy mountains:

2 Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

Yahweh 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 to be 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 mention Rahab and Babylon, to them who know me—Lo! 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 were born in her, And the Highest himself shall establish her.

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

Yahweh, will record, when he enrolleth the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

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

As well the singers as the flute-players [are saying], —All my springs, are in thee!
