Sòm 87

1 Se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Se yon chante li ye. Bondye bati lavil li a sou mòn ki apa pou li a!

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.

2 Li renmen lavil Jerizalèm pi plis pase tout lòt kote nan peyi Jakòb la.

The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Ou menm, lavil Bondye a, tande bèl bagay y'ap di sou ou:

Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God.

4 Lè m'ap nonmen non moun k'ap sèvi m' yo, m'ap mete moun peyi Lejip, moun peyi Babilòn sou lis la. Moun peyi Filisti, moun peyi Tir ak moun peyi Etiopi, se Jerizalèm yo fèt.

“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

5 Lè moun ap pale sou mòn Siyon an yo di: -Yo rele l' manman, paske se la yo tout fèt. Se Bondye anwo nan syèl la ki mete l' kanpe.

And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

6 Seyè a fè lis tout pèp yo, li fè yo tout pase pou moun lavil Jerizalèm.

The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

7 Moun k'ap chante yo ansanm ak moun k'ap danse yo ap repete byen fò: -Se ou menm ki manman nou tout.

Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
