Psalm 87

The Joy of Living in Zion

Of the Korahites. A Psalm. A Song.

1 On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
2     the Lord loves the gates of Zion
    more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of you,
    O city of God.Selah

4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
    Philistia too, and Tyre, with Ethiopia[a]
    "This one was born there," they say.

5 And of Zion it shall be said,
    "This one and that one were born in it";
    for the Most High himself will establish it.
6 The Lord records, as he registers the peoples,
    "This one was born there."Selah

7 Singers and dancers alike say,
    "All my springs are in you."
