Psalms 87

The Glories of the City of God

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion

More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken of you,

O city of God!

Selah

4 “I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to those who know Me;

Behold, O Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia:

‘This one was born there.’ ”

5 And of Zion it will be said,

“This one and that one were born in her;

And the Most High Himself shall establish her.”

6 The Lord will record,

When He registers the peoples:

“This one was born there.”

Selah

7 Both the singers and the players on instruments say,

“All my springs are in you.”
