Psalms 87

 

¹ He has founded his city on the holy mountain.

 

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

 

³ Glorious things are said of you, city of God:

 

⁴ “I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me—Philistia too, and Tyre , along with Cush—and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

 

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

 

⁶ The Lord will write in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

 

⁷ As they make music they will sing, “All my fountains are in you.”
