Psalms 87

1 Ti àwọn ọmọ Kora. Saamu. Orin. Ó ti fi ìpìlẹ̀ rẹ̀ sọlẹ̀ sórí òkè mímọ́;

“By the sons of Korach; a psalm or song.” It is founded by him on holy mountains.

2 Olúwa fẹ́ràn ẹnu-ọ̀nà Sioni ju gbogbo ibùgbé Jakọbu lọ.

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

3 Ohun ológo ni a sọ nípa rẹ̀, ìlú Ọlọ́run,

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

4 “Èmi ó dárúkọ Rahabu àti Babeli láàrín àwọn tí ó jẹ́wọ́ mi: Filistia pẹ̀lú, àti Tire, pẹ̀lú Kuṣi, yóò sọ pé, ‘Èyí ni a bí ní Sioni.’”

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as those that know me; behold, here is Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: “This man was born there.”

5 Nítòótọ́, ti Sioni ni a ó sọ, “Eléyìí àti eléyìí ni a bí nínú rẹ̀, àti Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo ni yóò fìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀.”

But of Zion will it be said, “This and that man were born in her:” and the Most High himself doth establish her.

6 Olúwa yóò kọ nínú àkọsílẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀: “Eléyìí ni a bí ní Sioni.”

The Lord will number when he writeth down nations. “This man was born there.” (Selah)

7 Àti àwọn olórin àti àwọn tí ń lu ohun èlò orin yóò wí pé, “Gbogbo orísun mi ń bẹ nínú rẹ.”

And the singers as well as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs [of joy] are in thee.
