Salmos 87

Sion die moederstad van volke.

1 VAN die kinders van Korag. 'n Psalm. 'n Lied.

Sy grondvesting is op heilige berge.

2 Die Here het die poorte van Sion lief bo al die wonings van Jakob.

3 Heerlike dinge word van u gesê, o stad van God! Sela.

4 Ek wil Rahab en Babel vermeld onder hulle wat My ken; kyk, Filistéa en Tirus saam met Kus — hierdie een is daar gebore.

5 En van Sion sal gesê word: Man vir man is daarin gebore, en Hy, die Allerhoogste, hou dit in stand.

6 Die Here sal tel as Hy die volke opskrywe: Hierdie een is daar gebore. Sela.

7 En die wat sing sowel as die wat vrolik is, sê: Al my fonteine is in jou!

A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song.

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion

More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee,

O city of God. [Selah

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me:

Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia:

This one was born there.

5 Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her;

And the Most High himself will establish her.

6 Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples,

This one was born there. [Selah

7 They that sing as well as they that dance shall say,

All my fountains are in thee.
