Psalms 87

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

לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מִזְמוֹר שִׁיר יְסוּדָתוֹ בְּהַרְרֵי־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃

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

אֹהֵב יְהוָה שַׁעֲרֵי צִיּוֹן מִכֹּל מִשְׁכְּנוֹת יַעֲקֹֽב׃

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

נִכְבָּדוֹת מְדֻבָּר בָּךְ עִיר הָאֱלֹהִים סֶֽלָה׃

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.’”

אַזְכִּיר ׀ רַהַב וּבָבֶל לְֽיֹדְעָי הִנֵּה פְלֶשֶׁת וְצוֹר עִם־כּוּשׁ זֶה יֻלַּד־שָֽׁם׃

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.”

וּֽלֲצִיּוֹן ׀ יֵאָמַר אִישׁ וְאִישׁ יֻלַּד־בָּהּ וְהוּא יְכוֹנְנֶהָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

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

יְֽהוָה יִסְפֹּר בִּכְתוֹב עַמִּים זֶה יֻלַּד־שָׁם סֶֽלָה׃

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

וְשָׁרִים כְּחֹלְלִים כָּֽל־מַעְיָנַי בָּֽךְ׃
