Psalms 87

1 “A psalm of the sons of Korah.” His foundation is in the holy mountains;

Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha. Eɖo eƒe agunu anyi ɖe to Kɔkɔe la dzi.

2 Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Yehowa lɔ̃ Zion ƒe agbowo wu Yakob ƒe nɔƒewo katã.

3 Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God! (Pause)

O! Mawu ƒe du, wogblɔ nu nyui geɖewo tso ŋuwò. (Sela)

4 “I name Egypt and Babylon among them that know me; Behold! Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia, —They also were born there.”

“Maŋlɔ Rahab kple Babilon ƒe ŋkɔ ɖe ame siwo nyam la dome, nenema kee nye Filistia kple Tiro hekpe ɖe Kus ŋuti, magblɔ be, ‘Wodzi esia le Zion.’”

5 And of Zion it shall be said, “Men of every nation were born there, And the Most High hath established her.”

Vavã, woagblɔ le Zion ŋu be, “Wodzi esia kple ekemɛ le afi ma, eye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ŋutɔ aɖo egɔme anyi.”

6 Jehovah, when he numbereth the nations, shall write, “These were born there!” (Pause)

Yehowa aŋlɔ ɖe dukɔwo ƒe agbalẽ me be, “Wodzi esia le Zion.” (Sela)

7 Singers as well as dancers, —All my springs are in thee!

Ne wole ha dzim la, woadzi ha be, “Nye agunuwo katã le mewò.”
