Psalms 87

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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