Psalms 87

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

Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. This house is resting on the holy mountain.

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

The Lord has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob.

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

Noble things are said of you, O town of God. (Selah)

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

Rahab and Babylon will be named among those who have knowledge of me; see, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man had his birth there.

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

And of Zion it will be said, This or that man had his birth there; and the Most High will make her strong.

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

The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. (Selah)

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

The players on instruments will be there, and the dancers will say, All my springs are in you.
