Psalms 87

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

Psalmus Cantici, filiis Core. Fundamenta eius in montibus sanctis:

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

diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Iacob.

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

Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei.

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

Memor ero Rahab, et Babylonis scientium me. Ecce alienigenae, et Tyrus, et populus Aethiopum, hi fuerunt illic.

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

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

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

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

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

Sicut laetantium omnium habitatio est in te.
