Psalms 87

1 A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Its foundations are in the holy mountains:

Korah Koca rhoek kah Tingtoeng Laa Tlang cim dongah a khoengim aka sut tih,

2 the Lord loves the gates of Zion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

Jakob tolhmuen boeih lakah Zion vongka rhoek aka lungnah BOEIPA kah,

3 Glorious things are being said of you, O City of God.

Pathen khopuei namah te n'thangpom a ti pai. (Selah)

4 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold, the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these have been there.

Kai aka ming rhoek taengah Rahab neh Babylon he ka thoelh ni. Tekah khopuei long ni Philistia, Tyre neh Kusah khaw a sak ne.

5 Will not Zion say that this man and that man were born in her? And the Most High himself has founded her.

Zion te khaw pakhat phoeiah pakhat loh, “Anih loh n'cun dongah Khohni loh a thoh bitni,” a ti uh ni.

6 The Lord will explain, in the writings of peoples and of leaders, about those who have been in her.

Tekah a sak pilnam te BOEIPA loh a tae vetih ming a daek ni. (Selah)

7 For so the dwelling place within you is with all rejoicing.

Te dongah ka tuisih boeih loh namah dongah lamcawn bangla hlai uh thae.
