Mazmur 87

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

Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. His foundation is in the mountains of holiness.

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

Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion more than all the habitations of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

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

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon among them that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this [man] was born there.

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

And of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

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

Jehovah will count, when he inscribeth the peoples, This [man] was born there. (Selah)

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

As well the singers as the dancers [shall say], All my springs are in thee.
