Psalms 87

1 By sons of Korah. — A Psalm, a song. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.

For the Sons of Korah. A Melody, a Song. His foundation, is in the holy mountains:

2 Jehovah is loving the gates of Zion Above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

Yahweh loveth the gates of Zion, More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. (Selah)

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

4 I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there.

I will mention Rahab and Babylon, to them who know me—Lo! Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia, This one was born there.

5 And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, doth establish her.

But, of Zion, it shall be said—This man and that were born in her, And the Highest himself shall establish her.

6 Jehovah doth recount in the describing of the peoples, 'This [one] was born there.' (Selah)

Yahweh, will record, when he enrolleth the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

7 Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in Thee!

As well the singers as the flute-players [are saying], —All my springs, are in thee!
