Psalm 87
Zion, the City of God
A psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.
1 His foundation is on the holy mountains.
2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are said about you,
city of God.
4 “I will mention those who know Me:
Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush—
each one was born there.”
5 And it will be said of Zion,
“This one and that one were born in her.”
The Most High Himself will establish her.
6 When He registers the peoples,
the Lord will record,
“This one was born there.”
7 Singers and dancers alike will say,
“My whole source of joy is[a] in you.”
