Psalms 87

1 Of the Korahites, a psalm. A song. On the holy mountain stands the city he founded.

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

3 Glorious things he is speaking of you, you city of God. (Selah)

4 ‘Among those who are mine I name Rahab and Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia, their people will say I was born in Zion.

5 As for Zion it will be said each and all were born in her.’ The Lord will preserve her.

6 The Lord will count, when enrolling the peoples, ‘This one was born there, and that one was born there.’ (Selah)

7 Singers and dancers alike will say ‘All my springs are in you.’
