Psalms 87

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

For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:

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

The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are said of thee, 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 be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.

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

Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.

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

The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.

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

The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.
