Psalm 87:1–5

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 aThe Lord loves the gates of Zion

More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 bGlorious things are spoken of you,

O city of God! Selah

4 “I will make mention of 1Rahab and Babylon to those who know Me;

Behold, O Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia:

‘This one was born there.’ ”

5 And of Zion it will be said,

“This one and that one were born in her;

And the Most High Himself shall establish her.”
