« | Psalm 87 | » |
1 A Psalm of a Song for the sons of Korah. His foundations are in the holy mountains.
2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion, more than all the tabernacles of Jacob.
3 Glorious things have been spoken of you, O city of God. Pause.
4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me; behold, also the Philistines, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians; these were born there.
5 A man shall say, Zion [is my] mother; and [such] a man was born in her; and the Highest Himself has founded her.
6 The Lord shall recount [it] in the writing of the people, and of these princes that were born in her.
7 The dwelling of all within you is [as the dwelling] of those that rejoice.
