Psalms 87

1 For the Sons of Korah. A Melody, a Song. His foundation, is in the holy mountains:

לבני-קרח מזמור שיר יסודתו בהררי-קדש

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

אהב יהוה שערי ציון-- מכל משכנות יעקב

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

נכבדות מדבר בך-- עיר האלהים סלה

4 I will mention Rahab and Babylon, to them who know me—Lo! Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia, This one was born there.

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

5 But, of Zion, it shall be said—This man and that were born in her, And the Highest himself shall establish her.

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

6 Yahweh, will record, when he enrolleth the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

יהוה--יספר בכתוב עמים זה ילד-שם סלה

7 As well the singers as the flute-players [are saying], —All my springs, are in thee!

ושרים כחללים-- כל-מעיני בך
