Psalms 87

1 A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. A SONG. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.

2 YHWH is loving the gates of Zion Above all the dwelling places of Jacob.

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

3 Honorable things are spoken in You, O city of God. (Selah)

Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God.

4 I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there.

“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

5 And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, establishes her.

And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

6 YHWH recounts in the describing of the peoples, “This [one] was born there.” (Selah)

The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

7 Also singers as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in You!

Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
