Mazmur 87

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

“By the sons of Korach; a psalm or song.” It is founded by him on holy mountains.

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

The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

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

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

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

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as those that know me; behold, here is Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: “This man was born there.”

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

But of Zion will it be said, “This and that man were born in her:” and the Most High himself doth establish her.

6 TUHAN akan memasukkan bangsa-bangsa dalam daftar penduduk Yerusalem.

The Lord will number when he writeth down nations. “This man was born there.” (Selah)

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

And the singers as well as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs [of joy] are in thee.
