Psalms 87

1 Of the Korahites, a psalm. A song. On the holy mountain stands the city he founded.

Han har grundlagt en Stad paa de hellige Bjerge.

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

Herren elsker Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

3 Glorious things he is speaking of you, you city of God. (Selah)

Der er herlige Ting sagt i dig, du Guds Stad! (Sela)

4 ‘Among those who are mine I name Rahab and Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia, their people will say I was born in Zion.

Jeg vil nævne Rahab og Babel iblandt dem, som kende mig; se, Filisteren og Tyrieren samt Morianen: „Denne, han er født der.‟

5 As for Zion it will be said each and all were born in her.’ The Lord will preserve her.

Men til Zion skal der siges: Denne og hin er født i den, den Højeste selv skal befæste den.

6 The Lord will count, when enrolling the peoples, ‘This one was born there, and that one was born there.’ (Selah)

Herren skal tælle, naar han opskriver Folkene, og sige: „Denne er født der.‟ (Sela)

7 Singers and dancers alike will say ‘All my springs are in you.’

Og de, som synge, tillige med dem, som danse, skulle sige: Alle mine Kilder ere i dig.
