Salmos 87

(Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang.) Sin Stad, grundfæstet på hellige Bjerge, har Herren kær,

Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

Der siges herlige Ting om dig, du Guds Stad. - Sela.

Jeg nævner Rahab og Babel blandt dem, der kender HERREN, Filisterland, Tyrus og Kusj, en fødtes her, en anden der.

Men Zion kalder man Moder, der fødtes enhver, den Højeste holder det selv ved Magt.

HERREN tæller efter i Folkeslagenes Liste, en fødtes her, en anden der. - Sela.

[A Psalm {or} Song for the sons of Korah.] His foundation {is} in the holy mountains. {for the sons: or, of the sons}

The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

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

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this {man} was born there.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, {that} this {man} was born there. Selah.

As well the singers as the players on instruments {shall be there}: all my springs {are} in thee.
