Psalm 87 - Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

¹ To the sons of Korah chanting a song. His foundations are in the mountains of holiness.

² Jehovah loved the gates of Zion above all the tents of Jacob.

³ Honored things being spoken in thee, O city of God. Silence.

⁴ I will make mention of Rahab and Babel to those knowing me: behold the rovers, and Tyre, with Cush; this was born there.

⁵ And to Zion a man will say, And a man was born in her: and he the Most High shall prepare her.

⁶ Jehovah shall recount in writing up the peoples, This was born there. Silence.

⁷ The chiefs according to them beginning: all my fountains in thee.
