Psalmorum 87

1 Filiis Core. Psalmus cantici. Fundamenta ejus in montibus sanctis;

A psalm of the sons of Korah; a song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

2 diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Jacob.

Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.

3 Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei!

Glorious things are said of you, city of God. (Selah)

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

“I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush— and will say, 'This one was born there.'”

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

Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was born in her; and the Most High himself will establish her.”

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

Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

7 Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.

So also the singers and the dancers say together, “All my fountains are in you.”
