Psalms 87

1 “By the sons of Korach; a psalm or song.” It is founded by him on 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 as those that know me; behold, here is 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 But of Zion will it be said, “This and that man were born in her:” and the Most High himself doth establish her.

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

6 The Lord will number when he writeth down nations. “This man was born there.” (Selah)

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

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

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