Salme 87

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

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.

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 are ascribed to you, O city of God.

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 among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

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

And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were 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)

The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

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

Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
