Psalm 87
Zion the True Birthplace
1 A psalm of the Korahites. A song.
I
His foundation is on holy mountains,
2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than any dwelling in Jacob.
3 Glorious things are said of you,
O city of God!
Selah

4 Rahab and Babylon I count
among those who know me.
See, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia,
“This one was born there.”
5 And of Zion it will be said:
“Each one was born in it.”
The Most High will establish it;
6 the Lord notes in the register of the peoples:
“This one was born there.”
Selah
7 So singers and dancers:
“All my springs are in you.”
