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. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

2 Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.

3 Der siges herlige Ting om dig, du Guds Stad. (Sela)

Glorious things are said of 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.

“I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush— and will say, 'This one was born there.'”

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

Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was born in her; and the Most High himself will establish her.”

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

Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

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

So also the singers and the dancers say together, “All my fountains are in you.”
