Salme 87

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

A Psalme or song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God layde his foundations among the holy mountaines.

2 Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

The Lord loueth the gates of Zion aboue all the habitations of Iaakob.

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

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O citie 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 Babel among them that knowe me: beholde Palestina and Tyrus with Ethiopia, There is he borne.

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

And of Zion it shall be sayde, Many are borne in her: and he, euen the most High shall stablish her.

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

The Lord shall count, when hee writeth the people, He was borne there. (Selah)

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

Aswell the singers as the players on instruments shall prayse thee: all my springs are in thee.
