Psalms 87

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

Isisekelo sayo siphezu kwentaba ezingcwele.

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

INkosi iyawathanda amasango eZiyoni kulazo zonke indawo zokuhlala zikaJakobe.

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

Izinto ezidumileyo zikhulunywa ngawe, muzi kaNkulunkulu! (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.'

Ngizaqamba iRahabi leBhabhiloni kwabangaziyo; khangela, iFilisti leTire kanye leEthiyophiya; lo wazalelwa khona.

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

LangeZiyoni kuzakuthiwa: Lo lalowayana bazalelwa kuyo. LoPhezukonke uqobo uzayiqinisa.

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

INkosi izabala ekubhaleni kwayo abantu, ukuthi lo wazalelwa khona. (Sela)

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

Labahlabeleli kanye labagidi, yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.
