Mazmur 87

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

HIS foundation is in the holy mountains.

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

The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings 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 to 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 and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

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

The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that 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 players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
