Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
American Standard Version
Psalms 87
1A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains. 2Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob. 3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. [Selah 4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me: Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This one was born there. 5Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; And the Most High himself will establish her. 6Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples, This one was born there. [Selah 7They that sing as well as they that dance [shall say], All my fountains are in thee.
