Psalms 87

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

He himene, he waiata ma nga tama a Koraha. Kei nga maunga tapu tona turanga:

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

E arohaina rawatia ana e Ihowa nga kuwaha o Hiona i nga nohoanga katoa o Hakopa.

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

He mea kororia nga mea e korerotia ana mou, e te pa o te Atua. (Hera)

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

Ka korerotia e ahau a Rahapa raua ko Papurona ki roto i te hunga e matau ana ki ahau: tirohia atu a Pirihitia, a Taira, a Etiopia; i whanau tenei ki reira.

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

Ae ra ko te kupu tenei mo Hiona, I whanau tenei me tera ki reira: ma te Runga Rawa pu ano ia e whakapumau.

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

Ka korerotia e Ihowa, ina tuhituhia nga iwi, I whanau tenei ki reira. (Hera)

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

Na ka mea te hunga waiata, me te hunga kanikani, Kei a koe oku puna katoa.
