תְהִלִּים 87

1 לִבְנֵי־קֹ֖רַח מִזְמֹ֣ור שִׁ֑יר יְ֝סוּדָתֹ֗ו בְּהַרְרֵי־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃

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

2 אֹהֵ֣ב יְ֭הוָה שַׁעֲרֵ֣י צִיֹּ֑ון מִ֝כֹּ֗ל מִשְׁכְּנֹ֥ות יַעֲקֹֽב׃

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

3 נִ֭כְבָּדֹות מְדֻבָּ֣ר בָּ֑ךְ עִ֖יר הָאֱלֹהִ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃

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

4 אַזְכִּ֤יר ׀ רַ֥הַב וּבָבֶ֗ל לְֽיֹ֫דְעָ֥י הִנֵּ֤ה פְלֶ֣שֶׁת וְצֹ֣ור עִם־כּ֑וּשׁ זֶ֝֗ה יֻלַּד־שָֽׁם׃

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

5 וּֽלֲצִיֹּ֨ון ׀ יֵאָמַ֗ר אִ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִישׁ יֻלַּד־בָּ֑הּ וְה֖וּא יְכֹונְנֶ֣הָ עֶלְיֹֽון׃

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

6 יְֽהוָ֗ה יִ֭סְפֹּר בִּכְתֹ֣וב עַמִּ֑ים זֶ֖ה יֻלַּד־שָׁ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃

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

7 וְשָׁרִ֥ים כְּחֹלְלִ֑ים כָּֽל־מַעְיָנַ֥י בָּֽךְ׃

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