Psalms 87

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang. Sin Stad, grundfæstet paa hellige Bjerge, har HERREN kær,

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

Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

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

Der siges herlige Ting om 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 nævner Rahab og Babel blandt dem, der kender HERREN, Filisterland, Tyrus og Kusj: en fødtes her, en anden 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 Zion kalder man Moder, der fødtes enhver, den Højeste holder det selv ved Magt.

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

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

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

Syngende og dansende siger de: »Alle mine Kilder er i dig!«
