Psalms 87

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

For the Sons of Korah. A Melody, a Song. His foundation, is in the holy mountains:

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

Yahweh loveth the gates of Zion, More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

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

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

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.

I will mention Rahab and Babylon, to them who know me—Lo! Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia, This one was born there.

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

But, of Zion, it shall be said—This man and that were born in her, And the Highest himself shall establish her.

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

Yahweh, will record, when he enrolleth the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

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

As well the singers as the flute-players [are saying], —All my springs, are in thee!
