Psalms 87

1 `The salm of the song of the sones of Chore. The foundementis therof ben in hooli hillis;

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.

2 the Lord loueth the yatis of Sion, more than alle the tabernaclis of Jacob.

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

3 Thou citee of God, with outen ende; gloriouse thingis ben seide of thee.

Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God.

4 I schal be myndeful of Raab, and Babiloyne; knowynge me. Lo! aliens, and Tyre, and the puple of Ethiopiens; thei weren there.

“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

5 Whether a man schal seie to Sion, And a man is born ther ynne; and that man altherhiyeste foundide it?

And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

6 The Lord schal telle in the scripturis of puplis; and of these princis, that weren ther ynne.

The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

7 As the dwellyng `of alle that ben glad; is in thee.

Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
