Psalms 87

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

`The salm of the song of the sones of Chore. The foundementis therof ben in hooli hillis;

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

the Lord loueth the yatis of Sion, more than alle the tabernaclis of Jacob.

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

Thou citee of God, with outen ende; gloriouse thingis ben seide of thee.

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.

I schal be myndeful of Raab, and Babiloyne; knowynge me. Lo! aliens, and Tyre, and the puple of Ethiopiens; thei weren there.

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

Whether a man schal seie to Sion, And a man is born ther ynne; and that man altherhiyeste foundide it?

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

The Lord schal telle in the scripturis of puplis; and of these princis, that weren ther ynne.

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

As the dwellyng `of alle that ben glad; is in thee.
