< Psalms 87 >

1 A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Its foundations are in the holy mountains:
By sons of Korah. — A Psalm, a song. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.
2 the Lord loves the gates of Zion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
Jehovah is loving the gates of Zion Above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are being said of you, O City of God.
Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. (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.
I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there.
5 Will not Zion say that this man and that man were born in her? And the Most High himself has founded her.
And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, doth establish her.
6 The Lord will explain, in the writings of peoples and of leaders, about those who have been in her.
Jehovah doth recount in the describing of the peoples, 'This [one] was born there.' (Selah)
7 For so the dwelling place within you is with all rejoicing.
Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in Thee!
