Psalms 87

1 A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

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

2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

3 Glorious things are spoken of Thee, O city of God. (Selah)

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

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.'

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

5 But of Zion it shall be said: 'This man and that was born in her; and the Most High Himself doth establish her.'

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

6 The LORD shall count in the register of the peoples: 'This one was born there.' (Selah)

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

7 And whether they sing or dance, all my thoughts are in Thee.

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