Psalms 87

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

[A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song.] His foundation is in 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 spoken about you, 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 record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Look, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: "This one was born there."

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

Yes, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one was born in her;" 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 count, when he writes up the peoples, "This one was born there." (Selah)

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

And those who sing as well as the pipers: "My whole source of joy is in you."
