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.
Darby Translation
Psalms 87
1Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. His foundation is in the mountains of holiness. 2Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion more than all the habitations of Jacob. 3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city ofGod. Selah. 4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon among them that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this [man] was born there. 5And of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her. 6Jehovah will count, when he inscribeth the peoples, This [man] was born there. Selah. 7As well the singers as the dancers [shall say], All my springs are in thee.
