Psalms – Chapter 87

Books of The Bible / Book of Psalms

1 [Of the sons of Korah Psalm Song] With its foundations on the holy mountains,

2 Yahweh loves his city, he prefers the gates of Zion to any dwelling-place in Jacob.

3 He speaks of glory for you, city of God,

4 ‘I number Rahab and Babylon among those that acknowledge me; look at Tyre, Philistia, Ethiopia, so and so was born there.’

5 But of Zion it will be said, ‘Every one was born there,’ her guarantee is the Most High.

6 Yahweh in his register of peoples will note against each, ‘Born there’,

7 princes no less than native-born; all make their home in you.
