Psalms 87

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

לבני-קרח מזמור שיר יסודתו בהררי-קדש

2 Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

אהב יהוה שערי ציון-- מכל משכנות יעקב

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

נכבדות מדבר בך-- עיר האלהים סלה

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me: Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This one was born there.

אזכיר רהב ובבל-- לידעי הנה פלשת וצר עם-כוש זה ילד-שם

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

ולציון יאמר-- איש ואיש ילד-בה והוא יכוננה עליון

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

יהוה--יספר בכתוב עמים זה ילד-שם סלה

7 They that sing as well as they that dance [shall say], All my fountains are in thee.

ושרים כחללים-- כל-מעיני בך
