Psalms 87

1 HIS foundation is in the holy mountains.

Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang. Sin Stad, grundfæstet paa hellige Bjerge, har HERREN kær,

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

Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

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

Der siges herlige Ting om dig, du Guds Stad. (Sela)

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

Jeg nævner Rahab og Babel blandt dem, der kender HERREN, Filisterland, Tyrus og Kusj: en fødtes her, en anden der.

5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

Men Zion kalder man Moder, der fødtes enhver, den Højeste holder det selv ved Magt.

6 The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. (Selah)

HERREN tæller efter i Folkeslagenes Liste, en fødtes her, en anden der. (Sela)

7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

Syngende og dansende siger de: »Alle mine Kilder er i dig!«
