Psalm 87

¹God’s foundation is set on the holy mountains.

²The LORD loves Zion’s gates

more than all of Jacob’s houses combined.

³Glorious things are said about you,

the city of God! Selah

⁴I count Rahab and Babel among those who know me;

also Philistia and Tyre, along with Cush—

each of these was born there.

⁵And of Zion it is said:

“Each person was born in it,

but the one who will establish it is the Most High.”

⁶The LORD makes a record as he registers the peoples:

“Each one was born there.” Selah

⁷And while they dance, people sing:

“The source of my life comes from you.”
