Psalms 87

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

Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang. Sin Stad, grundfæstet paa hellige Bjerge, har HERREN kær,

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

Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

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

Der siges herlige Ting om dig, du Guds Stad. (Sela)

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.

Jeg nævner Rahab og Babel blandt dem, der kender HERREN, Filisterland, Tyrus og Kusj: en fødtes her, en anden der.

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

Men Zion kalder man Moder, der fødtes enhver, den Højeste holder det selv ved Magt.

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

HERREN tæller efter i Folkeslagenes Liste, en fødtes her, en anden der. (Sela)

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

Syngende og dansende siger de: »Alle mine Kilder er i dig!«
