PSALM 87

Yahweh Loves the Gates of Zion

Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song.

1His afoundation is in the holy mountains.

2Yahweh aloves the gates of Zion

More than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

3aGlorious things are spoken of you,

O bcity of God. 1Selah.

4“I shall mention 1aRahab and Babylon among those who know Me;

Behold, Philistia and bTyre with 2cEthiopia:

‘This one was born there.’”

5But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”;

And the Most High Himself will aestablish her.

6Yahweh will count when He aregisters the peoples,

“This one was born there.” Selah.

7And asingers, just like the bdancers, will all say,

“All my csprings are in you.”
