Psalm 87

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

¹ He has founded his city on the holy mountain.^(a)
² The Lord loves the gates of Zion^(b)
more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.

³ Glorious things are said of you,
    city of God:^[a]^(c)
⁴ "I will record Rahab^[b]^(d) and Babylon
    among those who acknowledge me—
Philistia^(e) too, and Tyre^(f), along with Cush^[c]—
    and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.'"^[d]^(g)
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^(h) of the peoples:
    "This one was born in Zion."

⁷ As they make music⁽ⁱ⁾ they will sing,
"All my fountains^(j) are in you."
