Psalms 87

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

Kora mma dwom. Awurade ato ne fapem wɔ bepɔ kronkron no so;

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

Awurade dɔ Sion apono no sene Yakob atenaeɛ nyinaa.

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

Wɔka wo ho animuonyamsɛm Ao Onyankopɔn kuropɔn:

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

“Mede Rahab ne Babilonia bɛka wɔn a wɔyɛ ɔsetie ma me no ho, Filistia, Tiro ne Kus nso mɛka sɛ, ‘Wɔwoo yeinom wɔ Sion.’”

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

Ampa ara wɔbɛka wɔ Sion ho sɛ, “Wɔwoo yei ne ɔno wɔ ne mu, na Ɔsorosoroni no ankasa de no bɛtim hɔ.”

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

Awurade bɛtwerɛ wɔ nnipa dintwerɛ nwoma no mu sɛ, “Wɔwoo yei wɔ Sion.”

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

Na wɔbɛto dwom sɛ, “Me nhini nyinaa wɔ wo mu.” Kora mma dwom a wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnto no “Mahalat Leannot” sankuo so.
