Psalm 87

₁On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

₂the Lord loves the gates of Zion

more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

₃Glorious things of you are spoken,

O city of God. Selah

₄Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;

behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—

“This one was born there,” they say.

₅And of Zion it shall be said,

“This one and that one were born in her”;

for the Most High himself will establish her.

₆The Lord records as he registers the peoples,

“This one was born there.” Selah

₇Singers and dancers alike say,

“All my springs are in you.”
