Psalm 8726
Written by the Korahites; a psalm, a song.
87:1 The Lord’s city is in the holy hills.1
87:2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.
87:3 People say wonderful things about you,2
O city of God.
(Selah)
87:4 I mention Rahab3 and Babylon to my followers.4
Here are5 Philistia and Tyre,6 along with Ethiopia.7
It is said of them, “This one was born there.”8
87:5 But it is said of Zion’s residents,9
“Each one of these10 was born in her,
and the sovereign One11 makes her secure.”12
87:6 The Lord writes in the census book of the nations,13
“This one was born there.”14
(Selah)
87:7 As for the singers, as well as the pipers—
all of them sing within your walls.15
