Psalms 87

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

Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. This house is resting on the holy mountain.

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

The Lord has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob.

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

Noble things are said of you, O town of God. (Selah)

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

Rahab and Babylon will be named among those who have knowledge of me; see, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man had his birth there.

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

And of Zion it will be said, This or that man had his birth there; and the Most High will make her strong.

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

The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. (Selah)

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

The players on instruments will be there, and the dancers will say, All my springs are in you.
