Psalm 87

¹His foundation is on the holy mountain.
² 
The Lord loves the gates of Zion
More than all the dwellings of Jacob (Israel).
³ 
Glorious things are spoken of you,
O city of God [Jerusalem]. Selah.
⁴ 
“I will mention Rahab (Egypt) and Babylon among those who know Me—
Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia (Cush)—
‘This one was born there.’”
⁵ 
But of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her,”
And the Most High Himself will establish her.
⁶ 
The Lord will count, when He registers the peoples,
“This one was born there.” Selah.
⁷ 
The singers as well as the players of flutes will say,
“All my springs and sources of joy are in you [Jerusalem, city of God].”
