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
A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song.
1His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2The LORD loveth the gates of Zion
More than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah
4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me:
Behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia;
This one was born there.
5Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her;
And the Most High himself shall establish her.
6The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the peoples,
This one was born there. Selah
7They that sing as well as they that dance shall say,
All my fountains are in thee.
