Psalm 87
A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song.
¹ His foundation is in the holy mountains.
² Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
³ Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah.
⁴ I will record Rahab1 and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”
⁵ Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.
⁶ Yahweh will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah.
⁷ Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”
87:4 Rahab is a reference to Egypt. ↩︎
