Psalms 87

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Filiis Core, Psalmus Cantici. Fundamenta eius in montibus sanctis:

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

diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Iacob.

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

Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei.

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.

Memor ero Rahab, et Babylonis scientium me. Ecce alienigenæ, et Tyrus, et populus Æthiopum, hi fuerunt illic.

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

Numquid Sion dicet: Homo, et homo natus est in ea: et ipse fundavit eam Altissimus?

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

Dominus narrabit in scripturis populorum, et principum: horum, qui fuerunt in ea.

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

Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.
