Psalms 87

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Han har grundlagt en Stad paa de hellige Bjerge.

2 Jehovah loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Herren elsker Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

Der er herlige Ting sagt i dig, du Guds Stad! (Sela)

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among those who know me. Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This man was born there.

Jeg vil nævne Rahab og Babel iblandt dem, som kende mig; se, Filisteren og Tyrieren samt Morianen: „Denne, han er født der.‟

5 Yea, of Zion it shall be said, this and that man was born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.

Men til Zion skal der siges: Denne og hin er født i den, den Højeste selv skal befæste den.

6 Jehovah will count when he writes up the peoples: This man was born there. (Selah)

Herren skal tælle, naar han opskriver Folkene, og sige: „Denne er født der.‟ (Sela)

7 Those who sing as well as those who dance shall say, All my fountains are in thee.

Og de, som synge, tillige med dem, som danse, skulle sige: Alle mine Kilder ere i dig.
