Psalms 87

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

Mazmur bani Korah: suatu nyanyian. Di gunung-gunung yang kudus ada kota yang dibangunkan-Nya:

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

TUHAN lebih mencintai pintu-pintu gerbang Sion dari pada segala tempat kediaman Yakub.

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

Hal-hal yang mulia dikatakan tentang engkau, ya kota Allah. (Sela)

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.

Aku menyebut Rahab dan Babel di antara orang-orang yang mengenal Aku, bahkan Filistea, Tirus dan Etiopia: "Ini dilahirkan di sana."

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

Tetapi tentang Sion dikatakan: "Seorang demi seorang dilahirkan di dalamnya," dan Dia, Yang Mahatinggi, menegakkannya.

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

TUHAN menghitung pada waktu mencatat bangsa-bangsa: "Ini dilahirkan di sana." (Sela)

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

Dan orang menyanyi-nyanyi sambil menari beramai-ramai: "Segala mata airku ada di dalammu."
