Psalms 87

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

A psalm of the sons of Korah; a song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

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

Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are said of you, 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 mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush— and will say, '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.

Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was born in her; and the Most High himself will establish her.”

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

Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

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

So also the singers and the dancers say together, “All my fountains are in you.”
