Zaburi 87

1 Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Wimbo. Ameuweka msingi wake katika mlima mtakatifu;

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

2 Bwana anayapenda malango ya Sayuni kuliko makao yote ya Yakobo.

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

3 Mambo matukufu yanasemwa juu yako, ee mji wa Mungu:

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

4 “Nitaweka kumbukumbu ya Rahabu na Babeli miongoni mwa wale wanaonikubali mimi: Ufilisti pia na Tiro, pamoja na Kushi, nami nitasema, ‘Huyu alizaliwa Sayuni.’”

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 Kuhusu Sayuni itasemwa hivi, “Huyu na yule walizaliwa humo, naye Aliye Juu Sana mwenyewe atamwimarisha.”

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

6 Bwana ataandika katika orodha ya mataifa: “Huyu alizaliwa Sayuni.”

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the peoples, this one was born there. (Selah)

7 Watakapokuwa wanapiga vinanda wataimba, “Chemchemi zangu zote ziko kwako.”

They that sing as well as they that dance [shall say], All my fountains are in thee.
