Psalms 87

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

τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς οἱ θεμέλιοι αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν τοῖς ἁγίοις

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

ἀγαπᾷ κύριος τὰς πύλας Σιων ὑπὲρ πάντα τὰ σκηνώματα Ιακωβ

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

δεδοξασμένα ἐλαλήθη περὶ σοῦ ἡ πόλις τοῦ θεοῦ διάψαλμα

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

μνησθήσομαι Ρααβ καὶ Βαβυλῶνος τοῖς γινώσκουσίν με καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ Τύρος καὶ λαὸς Αἰθιόπων οὗτοι ἐγενήθησαν ἐκεῖ

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

μήτηρ Σιων ἐρεῖ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐγενήθη ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν ὁ ὕψιστος

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

κύριος διηγήσεται ἐν γραφῇ λαῶν καὶ ἀρχόντων τούτων τῶν γεγενημένων ἐν αὐτῇ διάψαλμα

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

ὡς εὐφραινομένων πάντων ἡ κατοικία ἐν σοί
