Psalms 87

A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.

1 His foundation is in mountains of holiness.

2 The Lord loves 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 to those that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there.

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

6 The Lord shall count when he writes up the peoples that this one was born there. Selah.

7 And singers and players on instruments in her shall say: all my springs are in thee.
