Psalms 87

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

Psaume de cantique des enfants de Coré. Sa fondation est dans les saintes montagnes.

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

L'Eternel aime les portes de Sion, plus que tous les Tabernacles de Jacob.

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

Ce qui se dit de toi, Cité de Dieu, sont des choses glorieuses; (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 ferai mention de Rahab et de Babylone entre ceux qui me connaissent; voici la Palestine, et Tyr, et Cus. Celui-ci, [disait-on], est né là.

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 il sera dit: celui-ci et celui-là y est né; et le Souverain lui-même l'établira.

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

Quand l'Eternel enregistrera les peuples, il dénombrera aussi ceux-là, [et il dira]: celui-ci est né là; (Sélah)

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

Et les chantres, de même que les joueurs de flûtes, [et] toutes mes sources seront en toi.
