PSALM 87

« Psalm 86 | Psalm 87 | Psalm 88 »

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.

On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

the Lord loves the gates of Zion

Glorious things of you are spoken,

“This one was born there,” they say.

behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—

Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;

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.
