Psalms 87

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

לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מִזְמוֹר שִׁיר יְסוּדָתוֹ בְּהַרְרֵי־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃

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

אֹהֵב יְהוָה שַׁעֲרֵי צִיּוֹן מִכֹּל מִשְׁכְּנוֹת יַעֲקֹֽב׃

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

נִכְבָּדוֹת מְדֻבָּר בָּךְ עִיר הָאֱלֹהִים סֶֽלָה׃

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

אַזְכִּיר ׀ רַהַב וּבָבֶל לְֽיֹדְעָי הִנֵּה פְלֶשֶׁת וְצוֹר עִם־כּוּשׁ זֶה יֻלַּד־שָֽׁם׃

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

וּֽלֲצִיּוֹן ׀ יֵאָמַר אִישׁ וְאִישׁ יֻלַּד־בָּהּ וְהוּא יְכוֹנְנֶהָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

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

יְֽהוָה יִסְפֹּר בִּכְתוֹב עַמִּים זֶה יֻלַּד־שָׁם סֶֽלָה׃

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

וְשָׁרִים כְּחֹלְלִים כָּֽל־מַעְיָנַי בָּֽךְ׃
