Psalms 87

1 A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. The Lord founded the city on his holy mountain.

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

2 Jerusalem is the city that the Lord loves more than any other city in Israel.

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

3 Many wonderful things are said of you, city of God! (Selah)

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

4 I mention Egypt and Babylon as those who know me, and in addition Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia—“this man was born 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 It will be said concerning Jerusalem, “Everyone was born there,” and the Most High will make it secure.

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

6 When the Lord registers the nations, he will write, “They were born there.” (Selah)

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

7 Singers and dancers alike say, “Living here I am at home.”

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