Mapisarema 87

1 Zvavanakomana vaKora. Pisarema. Rwiyo. Akateya nheyo dzake pagomo dzvene;

A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. The Lord founded the city on his holy mountain.

2 Jehovha anoda masuo eZioni kupfuura pose panogara Jakobho.

Jerusalem is the city that the Lord loves more than any other city in Israel.

3 Zvinhu zvakaisvonaka zvinotaurwa pamusoro pako, iwe guta raMwari: Sera

Many wonderful things are said of you, city of God! (Selah)

4 “Ndichanyora nezvaRahabhi neBhabhironi pakati pavanondiziva, neFiristiawo neTire, pamwe chete neEtiopia, uye vachati, ‘Uyu akaberekerwa muZioni.’”

I mention Egypt and Babylon as those who know me, and in addition Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia—“this man was born there.”

5 Zvirokwazvo, pamusoro peZioni vachati, “Uyu nowoyo vakaberekerwamo, uye Wokumusoro-soro pachake acharisimbisa.”

It will be said concerning Jerusalem, “Everyone was born there,” and the Most High will make it secure.

6 Jehovha achanyora panonyorwa mazita amarudzi, kuti, “Uyu akaberekerwa muZioni.” Sera

When the Lord registers the nations, he will write, “They were born there.” (Selah)

7 Pavanoimba, vachaimba vachiti, “Matsime angu ose ari mamuri.”

Singers and dancers alike say, “Living here I am at home.”
