Psalms 87:1-7

¹Of the Korahites, a psalm. A song. On the holy mountain stands the city he founded.

²The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

³Glorious things he is speaking of you, you city of God. Selah

⁴“Among those who are mine I name Rahab and Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia, their people will say I was born in Zion.

⁵As for Zion it will be said each and all were born in her.” The Lord will preserve her.

⁶The Lord will count, when enrolling the peoples, “This one was born there, and that one was born there.” Selah

⁷Singers and dancers alike will say “All my springs are in you.”
