Psalms 87

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

Filiis Core. Psalmus cantici. Fundamenta ejus in montibus sanctis;

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

diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Jacob.

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

Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei!

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

Memor ero Rahab et Babylonis, scientium me; ecce alienigenæ, et Tyrus, et populus Æthiopum, hi fuerunt illic.

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

Numquid Sion dicet: Homo et homo natus est in ea, et ipse fundavit eam Altissimus?

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

Dominus narrabit in scripturis populorum et principum, horum qui fuerunt in ea.

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

Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.
