Psalms 87

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

`The salm of the song of the sones of Chore. The foundementis therof ben in hooli hillis;

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

the Lord loueth the yatis of Sion, more than alle the tabernaclis of Jacob.

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

Thou citee of God, with outen ende; gloriouse thingis ben seide of thee.

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.'

I schal be myndeful of Raab, and Babiloyne; knowynge me. Lo! aliens, and Tyre, and the puple of Ethiopiens; thei weren there.

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

Whether a man schal seie to Sion, And a man is born ther ynne; and that man altherhiyeste foundide it?

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

The Lord schal telle in the scripturis of puplis; and of these princis, that weren ther ynne.

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

As the dwellyng `of alle that ben glad; is in thee.
