Psalms 87

1 A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

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

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

3 Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God. Selah

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

4 “I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me—along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush—when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

5 And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

6 The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah

6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

7 Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”

7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
