Psalm 87

A Psalm [or] Song of the sons of Korah

1His foundations [are] in the holy mountains.

2Love doth Jehovah the gates of Zion More than all the tabernacles of Jacob.

3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God! Selah.

4I will make mention of Rahab, and Babel among those who know me: Behold the Philistines, and Tyre, with Ethiopia, He is born there! Selah.

5And of Zion it shall be said, “Man and man is born in her; “And the Most High himself will establish her.”

6The Lord will recount when he writeth the peoples, “He is born there.” Selah.

7And the singers as the players upon instruments: All my springs are in thee.
