Psalms 87

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

לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מִזְמוֹר שִׁיר יְסוּדָתוֹ בְּהַרְרֵי־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃

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

אֹהֵב יְהֹוָה שַׁעֲרֵי צִיּוֹן מִכֹּל מִשְׁכְּנוֹת יַעֲקֹֽב׃

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

נִכְבָּדוֹת מְדֻבָּר בָּךְ עִיר הָאֱלֹהִים סֶֽלָה׃

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.

אַזְכִּיר ׀ רַהַב וּבָבֶל לְֽיֹדְעָי הִנֵּה פְלֶשֶׁת וְצֹר עִם־כּוּשׁ זֶה יֻלַּד־שָֽׁם׃

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

וּלְצִיּוֹן ׀ יֵאָמַר אִישׁ וְאִישׁ יֻלַּד־בָּהּ וְהוּא יְכוֹנְנֶהָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

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

יְֽהֹוָה יִסְפֹּר בִּכְתוֹב עַמִּים זֶה יֻלַּד־שָׁם סֶֽלָה׃

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

וְשָׁרִים כְּחֹלְלִים כׇּֽל־מַעְיָנַי בָּֽךְ׃
