Psalms 87

1By sons of Korah. --A Psalm, a song. His foundation <FI>is<Fi> in holy mountains.

1 This house is resting on the holy mountain.

2Jehovah is loving the gates of Zion Above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

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

3Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. Selah.

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

4I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This <FI>one<Fi> 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.

5And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, doth 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.

6Jehovah doth recount in the describing of the peoples, `This <FI>one<Fi> 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.)

7Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains <FI>are<Fi> in Thee!

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