Psalms 87

   |   

(A psalm and a song by the people of Korah.)

The Glory of Mount Zion

1 Zion was built by the Lord
    on the holy mountain,
2 and he loves that city
    more than any other place
    in all of Israel.
3 Zion, you are the city of God,
    and wonderful things
    are told about you.

4 Egypt,[a] Babylonia, Philistia,
    Phoenicia,[b] and Ethiopia[c]
are some of those nations
    that know you,
    and their people all say,
    "I was born in Zion."

5 God Most High will strengthen
    the city of Zion.
    Then everyone will say,
    "We were born here too."
6 The Lord will make a list
    of his people,
    and all who were born here
    will be included.

7 All who sing or dance will say,
    "I too am from Zion."
