Psalms 87

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

Filiis Core. Psalmus cantici. Fundamenta ejus in montibus sanctis;

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

diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Jacob.

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

Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei!

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.

Memor ero Rahab et Babylonis, scientium me; ecce alienigenæ, et Tyrus, et populus Æthiopum, hi fuerunt illic.

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

Numquid Sion dicet: Homo et homo natus est in ea, et ipse fundavit eam Altissimus?

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

Dominus narrabit in scripturis populorum et principum, horum qui fuerunt in ea.

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

Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.
