Psalms 87

   |   

In Praise of Jerusalem[a]

1 The Lord built his city on the sacred hill;[b]
2     more than any other place in Israel
    he loves the city of Jerusalem.
3 Listen, city of God,
    to the wonderful things he says about you:

4 "I will include Egypt and Babylonia
    when I list the nations that obey me;
the people of Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia[c]
    I will number among the inhabitants of Jerusalem."

5 Of Zion it will be said
    that all nations belong there
    and that the Almighty will make her strong.
6 The Lord will write a list of the peoples
    and include them all as citizens of Jerusalem.
7 They dance and sing,
    "In Zion is the source of all our blessings."
