Psalms 87

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

Mazmur bani Korah: suatu nyanyian. Di gunung-gunung yang kudus ada kota yang dibangunkan-Nya:

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

TUHAN lebih mencintai pintu-pintu gerbang Sion dari pada segala tempat kediaman Yakub.

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

Hal-hal yang mulia dikatakan tentang engkau, ya kota Allah. (Sela)

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

Aku menyebut Rahab dan Babel di antara orang-orang yang mengenal Aku, bahkan Filistea, Tirus dan Etiopia: "Ini dilahirkan di sana."

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

Tetapi tentang Sion dikatakan: "Seorang demi seorang dilahirkan di dalamnya," dan Dia, Yang Mahatinggi, menegakkannya.

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

TUHAN menghitung pada waktu mencatat bangsa-bangsa: "Ini dilahirkan di sana." (Sela)

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

Dan orang menyanyi-nyanyi sambil menari beramai-ramai: "Segala mata airku ada di dalammu."
