Psalms 87
The LORD Loves the Gates of Zion
A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.
1 He has founded His city
on the holy mountains.
2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are ascribed to you,
O city of God.
3 Selah
4 “I will mention Rahab and Babylon
among those who know Me—
4 along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush —
when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’ ”
5 And it will be said of Zion:
“This one and that one were born in her,
5 and the Most High Himself will establish her.”
6 The LORD will record in the register of the peoples:
“This one was born in Zion.”
6 Selah
7 Singers and pipers will proclaim,
“All my springs of joy are in You.”
