Mazmur 87

1 Mazmur bani Korah: suatu nyanyian. Di gunung-gunung yang kudus ada kota yang dibangunkan-Nya:

A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Its foundations are in the holy mountains:

2 TUHAN lebih mencintai pintu-pintu gerbang Sion dari pada segala tempat kediaman Yakub.

the Lord loves the gates of Zion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

3 Hal-hal yang mulia dikatakan tentang engkau, ya kota Allah. (Sela)

Glorious things are being said of you, O City of God.

4 Aku menyebut Rahab dan Babel di antara orang-orang yang mengenal Aku, bahkan Filistea, Tirus dan Etiopia: "Ini dilahirkan di sana."

I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold, the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these have been there.

5 Tetapi tentang Sion dikatakan: "Seorang demi seorang dilahirkan di dalamnya," dan Dia, Yang Mahatinggi, menegakkannya.

Will not Zion say that this man and that man were born in her? And the Most High himself has founded her.

6 TUHAN menghitung pada waktu mencatat bangsa-bangsa: "Ini dilahirkan di sana." (Sela)

The Lord will explain, in the writings of peoples and of leaders, about those who have been in her.

7 Dan orang menyanyi-nyanyi sambil menari beramai-ramai: "Segala mata airku ada di dalammu."

For so the dwelling place within you is with all rejoicing.
