Salme 87

1 (Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang.) Sin Stad, grundfæstet på hellige Bjerge, har Herren kær,

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

Jehovah 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 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 those who 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.

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, this and that man 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)

Jehovah will count when he writes up the peoples: This man was born there. (Selah)

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

Those who sing as well as those who dance shall say, All my fountains are in thee.
