Psalms 87

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

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

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

diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Iacob.

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

Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei.

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.’”

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

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.”

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

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

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

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

Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.
