Psalms 87

1 [A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song.] His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Han har grundlagt en Stad paa de hellige Bjerge.

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

Herren elsker Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

3 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. (Selah)

Der er herlige Ting sagt i dig, du Guds Stad! (Sela)

4 I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Look, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: "This one was born there."

Jeg vil nævne Rahab og Babel iblandt dem, som kende mig; se, Filisteren og Tyrieren samt Morianen: „Denne, han er født der.‟

5 Yes, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one was born in her;" the Most High himself will establish her.

Men til Zion skal der siges: Denne og hin er født i den, den Højeste selv skal befæste den.

6 The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, "This one was born there." (Selah)

Herren skal tælle, naar han opskriver Folkene, og sige: „Denne er født der.‟ (Sela)

7 And those who sing as well as the pipers: "My whole source of joy is in you."

Og de, som synge, tillige med dem, som danse, skulle sige: Alle mine Kilder ere i dig.
