Psalms 87

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

(Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang.) Sin Stad, grundfæstet på hellige Bjerge, har Herren kær,

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

Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

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

Der siges herlige Ting om dig, du Guds Stad. (Sela)

4 I mention Egypt and Babylon as those who know me, and in addition Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia—“this man was born there.”

Jeg nævner Rahab og Babel blandt dem, der kender HERREN, Filisterland, Tyrus og Kusj, en fødtes her, en anden der.

5 It will be said concerning Jerusalem, “Everyone was born there,” and the Most High will make it secure.

Men Zion kalder man Moder, der fødtes enhver, den Højeste holder det selv ved Magt.

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

HERREN tæller efter i Folkeslagenes Liste, en fødtes her, en anden der. (Sela)

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

Syngende og dansende siger de: "Alle mine Kilder er i dig!"
