Psalms 87

   |   

The Privileges of Citizenship in Zion.

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.

1 His (a)foundation is in the holy mountains.
2 The Lord (b)loves the gates of Zion
More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.
3 (c)Glorious things are spoken of you,
O (d)city of God. [a]Selah.
4 "I shall mention [b](e)Rahab and Babylon [c]among those who know Me;
Behold, Philistia and (f)Tyre with [d](g)Ethiopia:
‘This one was born there.'"
5 But of Zion it shall be said, "This one and that one were born in her";
And the Most High Himself will (h)establish her.
6 The Lord will count when He (i)registers the peoples,
"This one was born there." Selah.
7 Then those who (j)sing as well as those who [e](k)play the flutes shall say,
"All my (l)springs of joy are in you."
