Salme 87

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

A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are spoken about 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 will record Rahab and Babylon 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 it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.

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

The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

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.”
