Psalms 87

   |   

Psalm 87

A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah.

1 On the holy mountain
    stands the city founded by the Lord.
2 He loves the city of Jerusalem
    more than any other city in Israel.[a]
3 O city of God,
    what glorious things are said of you! Interlude

4 I will count Egypt[b] and Babylon among those who know me—
    also Philistia and Tyre, and even distant Ethiopia.[c]
    They have all become citizens of Jerusalem!
5 Regarding Jerusalem[d] it will be said,
    "Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there."
    And the Most High will personally bless this city.
6 When the Lord registers the nations, he will say,
    "They have all become citizens of Jerusalem." Interlude

7 The people will play flutes[e] and sing,
    "The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!"
