Psalms 87

Psalm 87

¹⌞The city⌟ the Lord has founded ⌞stands⌟ on holy mountains.

²The Lord loves the city of Zion

more than any other place in Jacob.

³Glorious things are said about you, O city of God! Selah

⁴⌞The Lord says,⌟ “I will add Egypt and Babylon

as well as Philistia, Tyre, and Sudan

to the list of those who acknowledge me.

Each nation ⌞will claim that it⌟ was born there.”

⁵But it will be said of Zion,

“Every race is born in it.

The Most High will make it secure.”

⁶The Lord will record this in the Book of Nations:

“Every race ⌞claims that it⌟ was born there.” Selah

⁷Singers and dancers will sing,

“Zion is the source of all our blessings.”
