←Prev   Psalms 87 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



87:1  A psalm of the Sons of Korah. A song. The Lord has built his city on the holy mountain.
87:2  He loves the city of Zion more than all the other places where the people of Jacob live.
87:3  City of God, the Lord says glorious things about you.
87:4  He says, “I will include Egypt and Babylon in a list of nations who recognize me as king. I will also include Philistia and Tyre, along with Cush. I will say about them, ‘They were born in Zion.’ ”
87:5  Certainly it will be said about Zion, “This nation and that nation were born in it. The Most High God himself will make it secure.”
87:6  Here is what the Lord will write in his list of the nations. “Each of them was born in Zion.”
87:7  As they make music they will sing, “Zion, all our blessings come from you.”
