Psalm 87

On Jerus’lem’s holy mountain

he has founded his abode.

More than all of Jacob’s dwellings

Zion’s gates are dear to God.

Glorious things of you are spoken,

Zion, city of the LORD:

“Many drawn from all the nations

as your people I record.

“I will name as those who know me

Egypt, Tyre and Babylon;

Philistine along with Cushite

I will count as Zion-born.”

Yes, it will be said of Zion,

“This and that one here belong;

And on her the Highest’s blessing

will descend, and make her strong.”

“Born in Zion,” God will enter

in the peoples’ register.

They will sing, as they make music,

“All my fountains are in her.”
