Salmos 87

Salmo dos coraítas. Cântico.

1 Os fundamentos da cidade de Deus estão sobre os montes santos;

2 o Senhor ama as portas de Sião

mais do que qualquer morada de Jacó.

3 Coisas gloriosas são ditas de ti,

ó cidade de Deus! Pausa

4 "Entre os que me conhecem

mencionarei Raabe*87.4 Nome poético para referir-se ao Egito. e a Babilônia,

além da Filístia, de Tiro e também de Cuxe;

direi: ‘Este nasceu em Sião’."

5 Acerca de Sião se dirá:

"Todos estes nasceram nela,

e o próprio Altíssimo a estabelecerá".

6 O Senhor escreverá no registro dos povos:

"Este nasceu em Sião". Pausa

7 Entre cânticos e danças, dirão:

"Em ti estão todas as minhas fontes".

Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song.

1 He has founded his city on the holy mountain.

2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion

more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are said of you,

city of God:*87:3 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verse 6.

4 "I will record Rahab*87:4 A poetic name for Egypt and Babylon

among those who acknowledge me—

Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush*87:4 That is, the upper Nile region—

and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’ "*87:4 Or "I will record concerning those who acknowledge me: / ‘This one was born in Zion.’ / Hear this, Rahab and Babylon, / and you too, Philistia, Tyre and Cush."

5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said,

"This one and that one were born in her,

and the Most High himself will establish her."

6 The Lord will write in the register of the peoples:

"This one was born in Zion."

7 As they make music they will sing,

"All my fountains are in you."
