Psalms 87

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

Psalmus Cantici, filiis Core. Fundamenta eius in montibus sanctis:

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

diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Iacob.

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

Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei.

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

Memor ero Rahab, et Babylonis scientium me. Ecce alienigenae, et Tyrus, et populus Aethiopum, hi fuerunt illic.

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

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

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

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

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

Sicut laetantium omnium habitatio est in te.
