Psalms 87

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

Mazmur bani Korah: suatu nyanyian. Di gunung-gunung yang kudus ada kota yang dibangunkan-Nya:

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

TUHAN lebih mencintai pintu-pintu gerbang Sion dari pada segala tempat kediaman Yakub.

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

Hal-hal yang mulia dikatakan tentang engkau, ya kota Allah. (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.”

Aku menyebut Rahab dan Babel di antara orang-orang yang mengenal Aku, bahkan Filistea, Tirus dan Etiopia: "Ini dilahirkan di sana."

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

Tetapi tentang Sion dikatakan: "Seorang demi seorang dilahirkan di dalamnya," dan Dia, Yang Mahatinggi, menegakkannya.

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

TUHAN menghitung pada waktu mencatat bangsa-bangsa: "Ini dilahirkan di sana." (Sela)

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

Dan orang menyanyi-nyanyi sambil menari beramai-ramai: "Segala mata airku ada di dalammu."
