Psalms 87

1 A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

A IA no kona mau kumu ma na mauna hoano.

2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Ua oi aku ka makemake o Iehova i na pukapa o Ziona, Mamua o na wahi noho ai a pau o ka Iakoba.

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

Ua oleloia mai na mea nani nou, E ke kulanakauhale o ke Akua (Sila)

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush; this man was born there.

I ka poe ike mai ia'u, e kamailio aku au no Rahaba, a me Babulona: Aia o Pilisetia, a me Turo, a me Aitiopa, Oia ka i hanauia malaila.

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

E oleloia mai no hoi no Ziona, Ua hanauia kela kanaka keia kanaka maloko ona; A na ka Mea kiekie e hookumu paa ia wahi.

6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. (Selah)

Ia Iehova e kakau ai i na kanaka, E hoike mai no oia, Ua hanauia oia nei malaila. (Sila)

7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

O ka poe mele, a me ka poe hookiokio, Aia la iloko ou, kou mau punawai a pau.
