Psalm 87

A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.
1 On the holy mount stands the city he founded; 
2 the Lord loves the gates of Zion 
    more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. 
3 Glorious things of you are spoken, 
    O city of God. Selah 
4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; 
    behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush— 
    “This one was born there,” they say. 
5 And of Zion it shall be said, 
    “This one and that one were born in her”; 
    for the Most High himself will establish her. 
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.”
