Psalms 87

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

לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מִזְמוֹר שִׁיר יְסוּדָתוֹ בְּהַרְרֵי־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃

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

אֹהֵב יְהוָה שַׁעֲרֵי צִיּוֹן מִכֹּל מִשְׁכְּנוֹת יַעֲקֹֽב׃

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

נִכְבָּדוֹת מְדֻבָּר בָּךְ עִיר הָאֱלֹהִים סֶֽלָה׃

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

אַזְכִּיר ׀ רַהַב וּבָבֶל לְֽיֹדְעָי הִנֵּה פְלֶשֶׁת וְצוֹר עִם־כּוּשׁ זֶה יֻלַּד־שָֽׁם׃

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

וּֽלֲצִיּוֹן ׀ יֵאָמַר אִישׁ וְאִישׁ יֻלַּד־בָּהּ וְהוּא יְכוֹנְנֶהָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

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

יְֽהוָה יִסְפֹּר בִּכְתוֹב עַמִּים זֶה יֻלַּד־שָׁם סֶֽלָה׃

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

וְשָׁרִים כְּחֹלְלִים כָּֽל־מַעְיָנַי בָּֽךְ׃
