Psalmi 87

1 Njegov temelj je na svetih gorah.

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

2 Gospod bolj ljubi sionska velika vrata kakor vsa Jakobova prebivališča.

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

3 Veličastne stvari se govorijo o tebi, oh Božje mesto. (Sela)

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

4 Tistim, ki me poznajo, bom omenjal Rahab in Babilon; glej Filisteja in Tir z Etiopijo; ta človek je bil rojen tam.

'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 In o Sionu bo rečeno: »Ta in ta človek je bil rojen v njem in sam najvišji ga bo utrdil.«

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

6 Ko vpisuje ljudstvo, bo Gospod štel, da je bil ta človek rojen tam. (Sela)

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

7 Prav tako bodo tam tako pevci kakor igralci na glasbila. Vsi moji izviri so v tebi.

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