Psalms 87

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

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

2 The LORD 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 ascribed to you, O city of God.

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

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.’”

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

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.”

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

6 The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

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

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

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