Psalm 87

Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song.

1He has founded his city on the holy mountain.p

2The Lord loves the gates of Zionq

more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.

3Glorious things are said of you,

city of God:ar

4“I will record Rahabbs and Babylon

among those who acknowledge me—

Philistiat too, and Tyreu, along with Cushc—

and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’ ”dv

5Indeed, of Zion it will be said,

“This one and that one were born in her,

and the Most High himself will establish her.”

6The Lord will write in the registerw of the peoples:

“This one was born in Zion.”

7As they make musicx they will sing,

“All my fountainsy are in you.”
