Psalms 87

1By sons of Korah. --A Psalm, a song. His foundation is in holy mountains. 2Jehovah is loving the gates of Zion Above all the tabernacles of Jacob. 3Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. Selah. 4I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This one was born there. 5And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, doth establish her. 6Jehovah doth recount in the describing of the peoples, `This one was born there.' Selah. 7Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains are in Thee!
