Psalms 87
The LORD Loves the Gates of Zion
1Of the sons of Korah, a psalm, a song: His foundation is in the mountains of holiness.
2The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the tabernaclesa of Jacob.
3Glorious things are spoken in you, O city of God. Selah.
4I will mention Rahab and Babylon to those who know me; behold, Philistia and Tyre with Cush: "This one was born there."
5And of Zion it shall be said, "Manb and man was born in her"; and he himself, the Most Highc, shall establish her.
6The LORD shall count in the writing of the peoples: "This one was born there." Selah.
7And singers as well as dancers: "All my springs are in you."
