87
A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song.
1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God.
Selah.
4 I will record Rahab* and Babylon among those who acknowledge me.
Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia:
“This one was born there.”
5 Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;”
the Most High himself will establish her.
6 The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples,
“This one was born there.”
Selah.
7 Those who sing as well as those who dance say,
“All my springs are in you.”
* 87:4 Rahab is a reference to Egypt.
