Psalms 87

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Isisekelo sayo siphezu kwentaba ezingcwele.

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

INkosi iyawathanda amasango eZiyoni kulazo zonke indawo zokuhlala zikaJakobe.

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

Izinto ezidumileyo zikhulunywa ngawe, muzi kaNkulunkulu! (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.

Ngizaqamba iRahabi leBhabhiloni kwabangaziyo; khangela, iFilisti leTire kanye leEthiyophiya; lo wazalelwa khona.

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

LangeZiyoni kuzakuthiwa: Lo lalowayana bazalelwa kuyo. LoPhezukonke uqobo uzayiqinisa.

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

INkosi izabala ekubhaleni kwayo abantu, ukuthi lo wazalelwa khona. (Sela)

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

Labahlabeleli kanye labagidi, yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.
