Psalms 87

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

Isisekelo sayo siphezu kwentaba ezingcwele.

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

INkosi iyawathanda amasango eZiyoni kulazo zonke indawo zokuhlala zikaJakobe.

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

Izinto ezidumileyo zikhulunywa ngawe, muzi kaNkulunkulu! (Sela)

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.'”

Ngizaqamba iRahabi leBhabhiloni kwabangaziyo; khangela, iFilisti leTire kanye leEthiyophiya; lo wazalelwa khona.

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

LangeZiyoni kuzakuthiwa: Lo lalowayana bazalelwa kuyo. LoPhezukonke uqobo uzayiqinisa.

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

INkosi izabala ekubhaleni kwayo abantu, ukuthi lo wazalelwa khona. (Sela)

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

Labahlabeleli kanye labagidi, yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.
