Psalms 87

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Filiis Core. Psalmus cantici. [Fundamenta ejus in montibus sanctis;

2 Adonai 'ahav ·affectionately loves· the gates of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] more than all the dwellings of Jacob [Supplanter].

diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Jacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei!

4 I will record Rahab and Babylon [Confusion] among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

Memor ero Rahab et Babylonis, scientium me; ecce alienigenæ, et Tyrus, et populus Æthiopum, hi fuerunt illic.

5 Yes, of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” haElyon [the Most High] himself will establish her.

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

6 Adonai will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

7 Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”

Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.]
