Psalms 87

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

לִבְנֵי־קֹ֖רַח מִזְמֹ֣ור שִׁ֑יר יְ֝סוּדָתֹ֗ו בְּהַרְרֵי־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃

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

אֹהֵ֣ב יְ֭הוָה שַׁעֲרֵ֣י צִיֹּ֑ון מִ֝כֹּ֗ל מִשְׁכְּנֹ֥ות יַעֲקֹֽב׃

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

נִ֭כְבָּדֹות מְדֻבָּ֣ר בָּ֑ךְ עִ֖יר הָאֱלֹהִ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃

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.'

אַזְכִּ֤יר ׀ רַ֥הַב וּבָבֶ֗ל לְֽיֹ֫דְעָ֥י הִנֵּ֤ה פְלֶ֣שֶׁת וְצֹ֣ור עִם־כּ֑וּשׁ זֶ֝֗ה יֻלַּד־שָֽׁם׃

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

וּֽלֲצִיֹּ֨ון ׀ יֵאָמַ֗ר אִ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִישׁ יֻלַּד־בָּ֑הּ וְה֖וּא יְכֹונְנֶ֣הָ עֶלְיֹֽון׃

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

יְֽהוָ֗ה יִ֭סְפֹּר בִּכְתֹ֣וב עַמִּ֑ים זֶ֖ה יֻלַּד־שָׁ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃

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

וְשָׁרִ֥ים כְּחֹלְלִ֑ים כָּֽל־מַעְיָנַ֥י בָּֽךְ׃
