Psalms 87

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

'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.'

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

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

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

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

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

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