Psalms 87

Zion, the City of God

¹His foundation is on the holy mountains.[#Ps 78:69; Is 28:16]

²The Lord loves the gates of Zion

more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

³Glorious things are said about you,

city of God. Selah

⁴“I will mention those who know Me:

Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush —

each one was born there.”

⁵And it will be said of Zion,

“This one and that one were born in her.”

The Most High Himself will establish her.

⁶When He registers the peoples,

the Lord will record,

“This one was born there.” Selah

⁷Singers and dancers alike will say,

“My whole source of joy is in you.”
