Psalms 87

A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song.

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

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

3 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah.

4 I will record Rahab*87:4 Rahab is a reference to Egypt. and Babylon among those who acknowledge me.

Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia:

"This one was born there."

5 Yes, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one was born in her;"

the Most High himself will establish her.

6 The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples,

"This one was born there." Selah.

7 Those who sing as well as those who dance say,

"All my springs are in you."
