Salme 87

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

Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. This house is resting on the holy mountain.

2 Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

The Lord has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob.

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

Noble things are said of you, O town of God. (Selah)

4 Jeg nævner Rahab og Babel blandt dem, der kender HERREN, Filisterland, Tyrus og Kusj, en fødtes her, en anden der.

Rahab and Babylon will be named among those who have knowledge of me; see, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man had his birth there.

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

And of Zion it will be said, This or that man had his birth there; and the Most High will make her strong.

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

The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. (Selah)

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

The players on instruments will be there, and the dancers will say, All my springs are in you.
