Psalms 87

1 A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

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

Yhwh loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

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

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

4 I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

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

5 Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.

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

6 The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

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

7 Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”

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