Psalm 87

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

¹ On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
² the Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
³ Glorious things are spoken of you,
O city of God.+pSelah

⁴ Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
Philistia too, and Tyre, with Ethiopia ₁ --
"This one was born there," they say.

⁵ And of Zion it shall be said,
"This one and that one were born in it";
for the Most High himself will establish it.
⁶ The Lord records, as he registers the peoples,
"This one was born there."+pSelah

⁷ Singers and dancers alike say,
"All my springs are in you."
