Psalms 87

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

Se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Se yon chante li ye. Bondye bati lavil li a sou mòn ki apa pou li a!

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

Li renmen lavil Jerizalèm pi plis pase tout lòt kote nan peyi Jakòb la.

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

Ou menm, lavil Bondye a, tande bèl bagay y'ap di sou ou:

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.'

Lè m'ap nonmen non moun k'ap sèvi m' yo, m'ap mete moun peyi Lejip, moun peyi Babilòn sou lis la. Moun peyi Filisti, moun peyi Tir ak moun peyi Etiopi, se Jerizalèm yo fèt.

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

Lè moun ap pale sou mòn Siyon an yo di: -Yo rele l' manman, paske se la yo tout fèt. Se Bondye anwo nan syèl la ki mete l' kanpe.

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

Seyè a fè lis tout pèp yo, li fè yo tout pase pou moun lavil Jerizalèm.

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

Moun k'ap chante yo ansanm ak moun k'ap danse yo ap repete byen fò: -Se ou menm ki manman nou tout.
