Salme 87

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

A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. The Lord founded the city on his holy mountain.

2 Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

Jerusalem is the city that the Lord loves more than any other city in Israel.

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

Many wonderful 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 Egypt and Babylon as those who know me, and in addition Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia—“this man was born there.”

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

It will be said concerning Jerusalem, “Everyone was born there,” and the Most High will make it secure.

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

When the Lord registers the nations, he will write, “They were born there.” (Selah)

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

Singers and dancers alike say, “Living here I am at home.”
