PSALM 87

The Lord loves the gates of Zion and he himself shall establish her.

A PSALM OR SONG FOR THE SONS OF KORAH.

  1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

  2 The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

  3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

  4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

  5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

  6 The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

  7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
