Psalms 87

NSB(i) 1 ([Psalm of Korah]) His foundation is in the holy mountains. 2 Jehovah loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. 3 Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. 4 I will mention Rahab (defamatory word for Egypt) (a boaster) (Isaiah 30:7) and Babylon among those who know me. Behold, Philistia and Tyre with 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 will establish her.« 6 Jehovah will count when he registers the peoples: »This one was born there.« 7 Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes will say: »All my springs of joy are in you.«
