Psalm 87 - Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

A song of praise from the Korah family.

¹ The Lord built his city on the holy hills.

² He loves the gates of Zion more than any other place in Israel.

³ Wonderful things are said about you, City of God. Selah

⁴ God says, “Some of my people live in Egypt and Babylon. Some of them were born in Philistia, Tyre, and even Ethiopia.”

⁵ But about Zion he says, “I know each and every person born there.” It is the city built by God Most High.

⁶ The Lord keeps a list of all his people, and he knows where each of them was born. Selah

⁷ At the festivals, people will dance and sing, “All good things come from Zion.”
