Psalms 87

1 “By the sons of Korach; a psalm or song.” It is founded by him on holy mountains.

τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς οἱ θεμέλιοι αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν τοῖς ἁγίοις

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

ἀγαπᾷ κύριος τὰς πύλας Σιων ὑπὲρ πάντα τὰ σκηνώματα Ιακωβ

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

δεδοξασμένα ἐλαλήθη περὶ σοῦ ἡ πόλις τοῦ θεοῦ διάψαλμα

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.”

μνησθήσομαι Ρααβ καὶ Βαβυλῶνος τοῖς γινώσκουσίν με καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ Τύρος καὶ λαὸς Αἰθιόπων οὗτοι ἐγενήθησαν ἐκεῖ

5 But of Zion will it be said, “This and that man were born in her:” and the Most High himself doth establish her.

μήτηρ Σιων ἐρεῖ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐγενήθη ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν ὁ ὕψιστος

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

κύριος διηγήσεται ἐν γραφῇ λαῶν καὶ ἀρχόντων τούτων τῶν γεγενημένων ἐν αὐτῇ διάψαλμα

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

ὡς εὐφραινομένων πάντων ἡ κατοικία ἐν σοί
