Psalms 87

1 His foundation is in the mountains of holiness.

1 This house is resting on the holy mountain.

2 Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion more than all the habitations of Jacob.

2The Lord has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob.

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

3Noble things are said of you, O town of God. (Selah.)

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

4Rahab and Babylon will be named among those who have knowledge of me; see, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man had his birth there.

5 And of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

5And of Zion it will be said, This or that man had his birth there; and the Most High will make her strong.

6 Jehovah will count, when he inscribeth the peoples, This [man] was born there. Selah.

6The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. (Selah.)

7 As well the singers as the dancers [shall say], All my springs are in thee.

7The players on instruments will be there, and the dancers will say, All my springs are in you.
