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. His foundation is in the mountains of holiness.

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

Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion more than all the habitations of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city 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.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon among them that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this [man] was born 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 shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

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

Jehovah will count, when he inscribeth the peoples, This [man] was born there. (Selah)

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

As well the singers as the dancers [shall say], All my springs are in thee.
