Psalms 87

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

For the Sons of Korah. A Melody, a Song. His foundation, is in the holy mountains:

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

Yahweh loveth 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 to be spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

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, to them who know me—Lo! Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia, This one was born there.

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

But, of Zion, it shall be said—This man and that were born in her, And the Highest himself shall establish her.

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

Yahweh, will record, when he enrolleth the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

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

As well the singers as the flute-players [are saying], —All my springs, are in thee!
