Sòm 87

1 Yon Sòm a fis a Koré yo; Yon Chan Fondasyon Li nan mòn sen yo.

A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. The Lord founded the city on his holy mountain.

2 SENYÈ a renmen pòtay Sion yo plis pase tout lòt abitasyon a Jacob yo.

Jerusalem is the city that the Lord loves more than any other city in Israel.

3 Yo pale sou gran mèvèy ou, O gran vil Bondye. Tan

Many wonderful things are said of you, city of God! (Selah)

4 Mwen va mete Rahab avèk Babylone pami (sila) ki rekonèt Mwen yo. Men vwala, Philistie, Tyr, avèk Éthiopie: “Tèl moun te fèt la”.

I mention Egypt and Babylon as those who know me, and in addition Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia—“this man was born there.”

5 Men selon Sion, li va pale, “Sa a ak (sila) a fèt ladann.” Pi Wo a, Li menm, va etabli Sion.

It will be said concerning Jerusalem, “Everyone was born there,” and the Most High will make it secure.

6 SENYÈ a va konte lè Li anrejistre tout pèp yo: “Sa a te fèt la”. Tan

When the Lord registers the nations, he will write, “They were born there.” (Selah)

7 Epi (sila) ki chante ansanm avèk (sila) ki jwe flit yo va di: “Tout sous bwote yo, se nan ou”.

Singers and dancers alike say, “Living here I am at home.”
