Psalms 87

1 A Psalm of a Song for the sons of Core. His foundations are in the holy mountains.

Par les fils de Koré. Psaume. Cantique. Il a fondé sa résidence sur les montagnes saintes.

2 The Lord loves the gates of Sion, more than all the tabernacles of Jacob.

L’Eternel aime les portes de Sion, mieux que toutes les demeures de Jacob.

3 Glorious things have been spoken of you, O city of God. (Pause)

On parle magnifiquement de toi, ô ville de Dieu! (Sélah)

4 I will make mention of Raab and Babylon to them that know me: behold also the Philistines, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these were born there.

Je rappelle l’orgueilleuse Egypte et Babel à ceux qui me connaissent. Voici le pays des Philistins, Tyr ainsi que Cousch. "Un tel y est né!"

5 A man shall say, Sion [is my] mother; and [such] a man was born in her; and the Highest himself has founded her.

Mais de Sion on dit: "Celui-ci et celui-là y sont nés!" C’Est le Très-Haut qui l’a affermie.

6 The Lord shall recount [it] in the writing of the people, and of these princes that were born in her.

L’Eternel, en inscrivant les nations, proclame: "Un tel y est né!" (Sélah)

7 The dwelling of all within you is [as the dwelling] of those that rejoice.

Chanteurs et joueurs d’instruments de s’écrier: "Toutes mes sources de joie sont en toi!"
