Psalms 87

1 Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. His foundation is in the mountains of holiness.

Filiis Core, Psalmus Cantici. Fundamenta eius in montibus sanctis:

2 Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion more than all the habitations of Jacob.

diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Iacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei.

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon among them that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this [man] was born there.

Memor ero Rahab, et Babylonis scientium me. Ecce alienigenæ, et Tyrus, et populus Æthiopum, hi fuerunt illic.

5 And of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

Numquid Sion dicet: Homo, et homo natus est in ea: et ipse fundavit eam Altissimus?

6 Jehovah will count, when he inscribeth the peoples, This [man] was born there. (Selah)

Dominus narrabit in scripturis populorum, et principum: horum, qui fuerunt in ea.

7 As well the singers as the dancers [shall say], All my springs are in thee.

Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.
