Psalm 87 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Psalm 87 The Joy of Living in Zion

Of 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.”
