Psalms 87

1 For the Sons of Korah. A Melody, a Song. His foundation, is in the holy mountains:

(Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang.) Sin Stad, grundfæstet på hellige Bjerge, har Herren kær,

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

Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

3 Glorious things, are to be spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

Der siges herlige Ting om dig, du Guds Stad. (Sela)

4 I will mention Rahab and Babylon, to them who know me—Lo! Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia, This one was born there.

Jeg nævner Rahab og Babel blandt dem, der kender HERREN, Filisterland, Tyrus og Kusj, en fødtes her, en anden der.

5 But, of Zion, it shall be said—This man and that were born in her, And the Highest himself shall establish her.

Men Zion kalder man Moder, der fødtes enhver, den Højeste holder det selv ved Magt.

6 Yahweh, will record, when he enrolleth the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

HERREN tæller efter i Folkeslagenes Liste, en fødtes her, en anden der. (Sela)

7 As well the singers as the flute-players [are saying], —All my springs, are in thee!

Syngende og dansende siger de: "Alle mine Kilder er i dig!"
