Psalms 87

1 A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation [is] in the holy mountains.

(Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang.) Sin Stad, grundfæstet på 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!"
