Psalm 87

A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.

1    His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2    The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3    Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God.

Selah

4    I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

5    And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

6    The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there.

Selah

7    As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
