Psalmorum 87

1 Filiis Core, Psalmus Cantici. Fundamenta eius in montibus sanctis:

For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:

2 diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Iacob.

The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

3 Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei.

Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.

4 Memor ero Rahab, et Babylonis scientium me. Ecce alienigenæ, et Tyrus, et populus Æthiopum, hi fuerunt illic.

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

5 Numquid Sion dicet: Homo, et homo natus est in ea: et ipse fundavit eam Altissimus?

Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.

6 Dominus narrabit in scripturis populorum, et principum: horum, qui fuerunt in ea.

The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.

7 Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.

The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.
