Psalm 87 The Joy of Living in ZionOf the Korahites. A Psalm. A Song. 1 On the holy mount stands the city he founded; 2 the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 3 Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah 4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; Philistia, too, and Tyre, with Cush— “This one was born there,” they say. 5 And of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in it,” for the Most High himself will establish it. 6 The Lord records, as he registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah 7 Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.” |
