< Psalms 87 >

1 A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.
لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. مَزْمُورُ تَسْبِيحَةٍ أَسَاسُهُ فِي ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ.١
2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
ٱلرَّبُّ أَحَبَّ أَبْوَابَ صِهْيَوْنَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِ يَعْقُوبَ.٢
3 Glorious things are spoken of Thee, O city of God. (Selah)
قَدْ قِيلَ بِكِ أَمْجَادٌ يَا مَدِينَةَ ٱللهِ. سِلَاهْ.٣
4 'I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know Me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there.'
«أَذْكُرُ رَهَبَ وَبَابِلَ عَارِفَتَيَّ. هُوَذَا فَلَسْطِينُ وَصُورُ مَعَ كُوشَ. هَذَا وُلِدَ هُنَاكَ».٤
5 But of Zion it shall be said: 'This man and that was born in her; and the Most High Himself doth establish her.'
وَلِصِهْيَوْنَ يُقَالُ: «هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ، وَهَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ وُلِدَ فِيهَا، وَهِيَ ٱلْعَلِيُّ يُثَبِّتُهَا».٥
6 The LORD shall count in the register of the peoples: 'This one was born there.' (Selah)
ٱلرَّبُّ يَعُدُّ فِي كِتَابَةِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ: «أَنَّ هَذَا وُلِدَ هُنَاكَ». سِلَاهْ.٦
7 And whether they sing or dance, all my thoughts are in Thee.
وَمُغَنُّونَ كَعَازِفِينَ: «كُلُّ ٱلسُّكَّانِ فِيكِ».٧
