Psalms 87

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

Ein Psalmlied der Kinder Korah. Sie ist fest gegründet auf den heiligen Bergen.

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

Der HERR liebt die Tore Zions über alle Wohnungen Jakobs.

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

Herrliche Dinge werden in dir gepredigt, du Stadt Gottes. (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.”

Ich will predigen lassen Rahab und Babel, daß sie mich kennen sollen. Siehe, die Philister und Tyrer samt den Mohren werden daselbst geboren.

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.”

Man wird zu Zion sagen, daß allerlei Leute darin geboren werden und daß er, der Höchste, sie baue.

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.

Der HERR wird zählen, wenn er aufschreibt die Völker: “Diese sind daselbst geboren.” (Sela)

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

Und die Sänger wie die im Reigen werden alle in dir singen, eins ums andere.
