Psalms 87

1 The city that Yahweh established is on his sacred hill.

Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang. Sin Stad, grundfæstet paa hellige Bjerge, har HERREN kær,

2 He loves that city, Jerusalem, more than he loves any other city in Israel.

Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

3 [You people in] [APO] the city that God (owns/lives in), people say wonderful things about your city.

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

4 [Some of those who know about God are the people of] Egypt and Babylonia, and also [the people of] Philistia and Tyre and Ethiopia; [some day they all] will say, “[Although I was not born in Jerusalem], [because I belong to Yahweh, it is as though] I was born there.”

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

5 And concerning Jerusalem, people will say [“It is as though] everyone was born there, and Almighty God will cause that city to remain strong/safe/secure.”

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

6 Yahweh will write a list of [the names of] the people of various groups [who belong to him], and he will say that [he considers them] all to be citizens of Jerusalem.

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

7 They will all dance and sing, saying, “Jerusalem is the source of all our blessings.”

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