Psalm 87

Psalm 87 – Zion, City of God

Of the Korahites, a psalm. A song.

1On the holy mountain stands

the city he founded.

2The Lord loves the gates of Zion

more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3Glorious things he is speaking of you,

you city of God. Selah

4“Among those who are mine I name Rahab and Babylon,

Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia,

their people will say I was born in Zion.

5As for Zion it will be said

each and all were born in her.”

The Lord will preserve her.

6The Lord will count, when enrolling the peoples,

“This one was born there, and that one was born there.” Selah

7Singers and dancers alike will say

“All my springs are in you.”
