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.

Adonai 'ahav ·affectionately loves· the gates of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] more than all the dwellings of Jacob [Supplanter].

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

Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

I will record Rahab and Babylon [Confusion] among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

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

Yes, of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” haElyon [the Most High] himself will establish her.

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

Adonai will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”
