Psalmorum 87

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

A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Iacob.

The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei.

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

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

'I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know Me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there.'

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

But of Zion it shall be said: 'This man and that was born in her; and the Most High Himself doth establish her.'

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

The LORD shall count in the register of the peoples: 'This one was born there.' (Selah)

7 Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.

And whether they sing or dance, all my thoughts are in Thee.
