Psalm 87

Zion, the City of God

A psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.

1   The city he founded X is on the holy mountains. r

2   The LORD loves Zion’s city gates

more than all the dwellings of Jacob. s

3   Glorious things are said about you,

city of God. t    Selah

4   “I will make a record of those who know me:

Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush—

each one was born there.” u

5   And it will be said of Zion,

“This one and that one were born in her.”

The Most High himself will establish her. v

6   When he registers the peoples,

the LORD will record,

“This one was born there.” w    Selah

7   Singers and dancers Y alike will say, Z

“My whole source of joy is A in you.” x
