Psalms 87

PSALM 87
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.
1Upon the hills of holiness
he his foundation sets.
2God, more than Jacob's dwellings all,
delights in Sion's gates.
3Things glorious are said of thee,
thou city of the Lord.
4Rahab and Babel I, to those
that know me, will record:
Behold ev'n Tyrus, and with it
the land of Palestine,
And likewise Ethiopia;
this man was born therein.
5And it of Sion shall be said,
This man and that man there
Was born; and he that is most High
himself shall stablish her.
6When God the people writes, he'll count
that this man born was there.
7There be that sing and play; and all
my well-springs in thee are.

Psalms 87
87
Psalm 87
A psalm of the Korahites. A song.
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.”
