Psalms 87

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

לבני-קרח מזמור שיר יסודתו בהררי-קדש

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

אהב יהוה שערי ציון-- מכל משכנות יעקב

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

נכבדות מדבר בך-- עיר האלהים סלה

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.

אזכיר רהב ובבל-- לידעי הנה פלשת וצר עם-כוש זה ילד-שם

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

ולציון יאמר-- איש ואיש ילד-בה והוא יכוננה עליון

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

יהוה--יספר בכתוב עמים זה ילד-שם סלה

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

ושרים כחללים-- כל-מעיני בך
