Psalm 87

Zion, the City of God

A psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.

His foundation is on the holy mountains. k

The Lord loves the gates of * Zion

more than all the dwellings of Jacob. l

Glorious things are said about you,

city of God. m * Selah

“I will mention those who know Me:

* Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and * Cush—

each one was born there.” n

And it will be said of Zion,

“This one and that one were born in her.”

The * Most High Himself will establish her. o

When He registers the peoples,

the Lord will record,

“This one was born there.” p Selah

Singers and dancers alike will say,

“My whole source of joy is q in you.” r

More than fifteen years in the making, crafted by the shared expertise of nearly a hundred conservative scholars and English stylists, the Holman CSB® sets the standard in painstaking biblical accuracy and pure literary form.

Accurate, yet highly readable, it's a translation committed to leaving both the grace and gravity of the original languages intact while carefully creating a smooth flow of wording for the reader.

Stylistically, this inaugural edition contributes to the clarity of the written Word, arranging the poetic portions of the Scripture into complete lines of thought, and revering God's presence on each page by capitalizing all the pronouns that refer to Him.
