Psalms

87

Revised Standard Version

1 A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song. 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 are spoken of you, O city of God. [Selah]

4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia -- '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.'
