Psalms 87

1 A psalm of the sons of Korah; a song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. A SONG. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.

2 Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.

YHWH is loving the gates of Zion Above all the dwelling places of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are said of you, city of God. (Selah)

Honorable things are spoken in You, O city of God. (Selah)

4 “I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush— and will say, 'This one was born there.'”

I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there.

5 Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was born in her; and the Most High himself will establish her.”

And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, establishes her.

6 Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

YHWH recounts in the describing of the peoples, “This [one] was born there.” (Selah)

7 So also the singers and the dancers say together, “All my fountains are in you.”

Also singers as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in You!
