Psalm 87

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

¹ His foundation is in the holy mountains. ² _a The LORD loves the gates of Zion
More than all the dwellings of Jacob. ³ _b Glorious things are spoken of you,
O city of God! Selah

⁴ "I will make mention of ₁ Rahab and Babylon to those who know Me;
Behold, O Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia:
'This one was born there.' " ⁵ And of Zion it will be said,
"This one and that one were born in her;
And the Most High Himself shall establish her." ⁶ The LORD will record,
When He _c registers the peoples:
"This one was born there." Selah

⁷ Both the singers and the players on instruments say,
"All my springs are in you."
