Psalm 87 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional EditionThe Glory of Mount Zion (A psalm and a song by the clan of Korah.) 1 Zion was built by the Lord on the holy mountain, 2 and he loves that city more than any other place in all of Israel. 3 Zion, you are the city of God, and wonderful things are told about you. 4 Egypt, Babylonia, Philistia, Phoenicia, and Ethiopia are some of those nations that know you, and their people all say, “I was born in Zion.” 5 God Most High will strengthen the city of Zion. Then everyone will say, “We were born here too.” 6 The Lord will make a list of his people, and all who were born here will be included. 7 All who sing or dance will say, “I too am from Zion.” |
