Psalms 87

1 Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. This house is resting on the holy mountain.

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

2 The Lord has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob.

Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

3 Noble things are said of you, O town of God. (Selah)

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

4 Rahab and Babylon will be named among those who have knowledge of me; see, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man had his birth there.

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

5 And of Zion it will be said, This or that man had his birth there; and the Most High will make her strong.

Men Zion kalder man Moder, der fødtes enhver, den Højeste holder det selv ved Magt.

6 The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. (Selah)

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

7 The players on instruments will be there, and the dancers will say, All my springs are in you.

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