Chapter 87

{Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song.} His foundation is in the mountains of holiness.

Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion more than all the habitations of Jacob.

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon among them that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this [man] was born there.

And of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

Jehovah will count, when he inscribeth the peoples, This [man] was born there. Selah.

As well the singers as the dancers [shall say], All my springs are in thee.
