Psalms 87

1 A Psalm of a Song for the sons of Core. His foundations are in the holy mountains.

Mazmur kaum Korah, sebuah nyanyian. TUHAN mendirikan kota-Nya di atas bukit-Nya yang suci.

2 The Lord loves the gates of Sion, more than all the tabernacles of Jacob.

Dari semua kota di Israel, Yerusalem yang paling dikasihi-Nya.

3 Glorious things have been spoken of you, O city of God. (Pause)

Dengarlah, hai kota Allah, hal-hal yang menakjubkan dikatakan-Nya tentang engkau:

4 I will make mention of Raab and Babylon to them that know me: behold also the Philistines, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these were born there.

"Mesir dan Babel akan Kumasukkan dalam daftar bangsa-bangsa yang taat kepada-Ku. Bahkan Filistea, Tirus dan Sudan masuk bilangan penduduk Yerusalem."

5 A man shall say, Sion [is my] mother; and [such] a man was born in her; and the Highest himself has founded her.

Kepada Sion orang akan berkata, bahwa semua bangsa termasuk warganya, dan bahwa Yang Mahatinggi akan mengukuhkan dia.

6 The Lord shall recount [it] in the writing of the people, and of these princes that were born in her.

TUHAN akan memasukkan bangsa-bangsa dalam daftar penduduk Yerusalem.

7 The dwelling of all within you is [as the dwelling] of those that rejoice.

Mereka akan menari dan menyanyi, "Sion adalah tempat asalku!"
