Chapter 87
Psalms
Verse 1On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
Verse 2the LORD loves the gates of Zionmore than all the dwelling places of Jacob.Verse 3Glorious things of you are spoken,O city of God. SelahVerse 4Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—“This one was born there,” they say.Verse 5And of Zion it shall be said,“This one and that one were born in her”;for the Most High himself will establish her.Verse 6The LORD records as he registers the peoples,“This one was born there.” SelahVerse 7Singers and dancers alike say,“All my springs are in you.”
