Psalms 87

  1. 1

    Written by the Korahites; a psalm, a song. The Lord’s city is in the holy hills.

  2. 2

    The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

  3. 3

    People say wonderful things about you, O city of God. (Selah)

  4. 4

    I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. Here are Philistia and Tyre, along with Ethiopia. It is said of them, “This one was born there.”

  5. 5

    But it is said of Zion’s residents, “Each one of these was born in her, and the Most High makes her secure.”

  6. 6

    The Lord writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

  7. 7

    As for the singers, as well as the pipers— all of them sing within your walls.
