PSALM 87

¹For the Korahites, a psalm, a song.

    His foundation on the holy mountains—

          ²The LORD loves the gates of Zion

                more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

    ³Splendid things are spoken of you,

          O town of God.

selah

    ⁴Let me recall Rahab and Babel to my familiars.

          Look, Philistia and Tyre together with Cush,

                —this one was born there.

    ⁵And of Zion it shall be said:

          every man is born in it,

                and He, the Most High, makes it firm-founded.

    ⁶The LORD inscribes in the record of peoples:

          this one was born there.

selah

    ⁷And singers and dancers alike:

          “All my wellsprings are in you.”
