Psalms 87

1 For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:

Isisekelo sayo siphezu kwentaba ezingcwele.

2 The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

INkosi iyawathanda amasango eZiyoni kulazo zonke indawo zokuhlala zikaJakobe.

3 Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.

Izinto ezidumileyo zikhulunywa ngawe, muzi kaNkulunkulu! (Sela)

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

Ngizaqamba iRahabi leBhabhiloni kwabangaziyo; khangela, iFilisti leTire kanye leEthiyophiya; lo wazalelwa khona.

5 Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.

LangeZiyoni kuzakuthiwa: Lo lalowayana bazalelwa kuyo. LoPhezukonke uqobo uzayiqinisa.

6 The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.

INkosi izabala ekubhaleni kwayo abantu, ukuthi lo wazalelwa khona. (Sela)

7 The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.

Labahlabeleli kanye labagidi, yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.
