Psalmorum 87

1 filiis Core psalmus cantici fundamenta eius in montibus sanctis

Of the Korahites, a psalm. A song. On the holy mountain stands the city he founded.

2 diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Iacob

The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 gloriosa dicta sunt de te civitas Dei diapsalma

Glorious things he is speaking of you, you city of God. (Selah)

4 memor ero Raab et Babylonis scientibus me ecce alienigenae et Tyrus et populus Aethiopum hii fuerunt illic

‘Among those who are mine I name Rahab and Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia, their people will say I was born in Zion.

5 numquid Sion dicet homo et homo natus est in ea et ipse fundavit eam Altissimus

As for Zion it will be said each and all were born in her.’ The Lord will preserve her.

6 Dominus narrabit in scriptura populorum et principum horum qui fuerunt in ea diapsalma

The Lord will count, when enrolling the peoples, ‘This one was born there, and that one was born there.’ (Selah)

7 sicut laetantium omnium habitatio in te

Singers and dancers alike will say ‘All my springs are in you.’
