<Psalms 87

[1] On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

[2] the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

[3] Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. Selah

[4] Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush— “This one was born there,” they say.

[5] And of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; for the Most High himself will establish her.

[6] The LORD records as he registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah

[7] Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.”
