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. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

2 Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.

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

Glorious 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 Rahab and Babylon to my followers. See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush— and will say, 'This one was born there.'”

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

Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was 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)

Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

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

So also the singers and the dancers say together, “All my fountains are in you.”
