Psalms 87

God Loves Jerusalem

A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah.

1 The Lord built Jerusalem on the holy mountain.
2 He loves its gates more than any other place in Israel.
3 City of God,
    wonderful things are said about you. Selah
4 God says, "I will put Egypt and Babylonia
    on the list of nations that know me.
People from Philistia, Tyre, and Cush
    will be born there."

5 They will say about Jerusalem,
    "This one and that one were born there.
    God Most High will strengthen her."
6 The Lord will keep a list of the nations.
    He will note, "This person was born there." Selah

7 They will dance and sing,
    "All good things come from Jerusalem."
