Psalms 87

1 A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.

(Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang.) Sin Stad, grundfæstet på hellige Bjerge, har Herren kær,

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

Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

3 Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God.

Der siges herlige Ting om dig, du Guds Stad. (Sela)

4 “I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

Jeg nævner Rahab og Babel blandt dem, der kender HERREN, Filisterland, Tyrus og Kusj, en fødtes her, en anden der.

5 And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were 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 The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

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

7 Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”

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