Psalms 87:1-7

¹The psalm of the song of the sons of Korah. The foundaments thereof be in holy hills;

²the Lord loveth the gates of Zion, more than all the tabernacles of Jacob.

³Thou city of God, without end; glorious things be said of thee.

⁴I shall be mindful of Rahab, and Babylon; knowing me. Lo! aliens, and Tyre, and the people of Ethiopians; they were there.

⁵Whether a man shall say to Zion, And a man is born therein; and that man, alder Highest, founded it?

⁶The Lord shall tell in the scriptures of these peoples; and of these princes, that were therein.

⁷As the dwelling of all that be glad; is in thee.
