Psalms 87

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

A IA no kona mau kumu ma na mauna hoano.

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

Ua oi aku ka makemake o Iehova i na pukapa o Ziona, Mamua o na wahi noho ai a pau o ka Iakoba.

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

Ua oleloia mai na mea nani nou, E ke kulanakauhale o ke Akua (Sila)

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 ka poe ike mai ia'u, e kamailio aku au no Rahaba, a me Babulona: Aia o Pilisetia, a me Turo, a me Aitiopa, Oia ka i hanauia malaila.

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

E oleloia mai no hoi no Ziona, Ua hanauia kela kanaka keia kanaka maloko ona; A na ka Mea kiekie e hookumu paa ia wahi.

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

Ia Iehova e kakau ai i na kanaka, E hoike mai no oia, Ua hanauia oia nei malaila. (Sila)

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

O ka poe mele, a me ka poe hookiokio, Aia la iloko ou, kou mau punawai a pau.
