Psalm 87_1 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Zion, the City of God

A psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.

¹ The city he founded  is on the holy mountains.

² The Lord loves Zion’s city gates more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

³ Glorious things are said about you, city of God.  Selah

⁴ ‘I will make a record of those who know me: Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush – each one was born there.’

⁵ And it will be said of Zion, ‘This one and that one were born in her.’ The Most High himself will establish her.

⁶ When he registers the peoples, the  Lord will record, ‘This one was born there.’  Selah

⁷ Singers and dancers  alike will say, ‘My whole source of joy is  in you.’
