Psalms 87

1 A Psalme or song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God layde his foundations among the holy mountaines.

Filiis Core, Psalmus Cantici. Fundamenta eius in montibus sanctis:

2 The Lord loueth the gates of Zion aboue all the habitations of Iaakob.

diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Iacob.

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

Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei.

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babel among them that knowe me: beholde Palestina and Tyrus with Ethiopia, There is he borne.

Memor ero Rahab, et Babylonis scientium me. Ecce alienigenæ, et Tyrus, et populus Æthiopum, hi fuerunt illic.

5 And of Zion it shall be sayde, Many are borne in her: and he, euen the most High shall stablish her.

Numquid Sion dicet: Homo, et homo natus est in ea: et ipse fundavit eam Altissimus?

6 The Lord shall count, when hee writeth the people, He was borne there. (Selah)

Dominus narrabit in scripturis populorum, et principum: horum, qui fuerunt in ea.

7 Aswell the singers as the players on instruments shall prayse thee: all my springs are in thee.

Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.
