Psalms 87

1 [A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song.] His foundation is in the holy mountains.

(Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang.) Sin Stad, grundfæstet på hellige Bjerge, har Herren kær,

2 Jehovah loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

3 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. (Selah)

Der siges herlige Ting om dig, du Guds Stad. (Sela)

4 I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Look, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: "This one was born there."

Jeg nævner Rahab og Babel blandt dem, der kender HERREN, Filisterland, Tyrus og Kusj, en fødtes her, en anden der.

5 Yes, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one was born in her;" the Most High himself will establish her.

Men Zion kalder man Moder, der fødtes enhver, den Højeste holder det selv ved Magt.

6 Jehovah will count, when he writes up the peoples, "This one was born there." (Selah)

HERREN tæller efter i Folkeslagenes Liste, en fødtes her, en anden der. (Sela)

7 And those who sing as well as the pipers: "My whole source of joy is in you."

Syngende og dansende siger de: "Alle mine Kilder er i dig!"
