Psalm 87 | New International Reader’s Version

A psalm of the Sons of Korah. A song.

1 The LORD has built his city on the holy mountain. 2 He loves the city of Zion more than all the other places where the people of Jacob live. 3 City of God, the LORD says glorious things about you. 4 He says, ‘I will include Egypt and Babylon in a list of nations who recognise me as king. I will also include Philistia and Tyre, along with Cush. I will say about them, “They were born in Zion.” ’ 5 Certainly it will be said about Zion, ‘This nation and that nation were born in it. The Most High God himself will make it secure.’ 6 Here is what the LORD will write in his list of the nations. ‘Each of them was born in Zion.’ 7 As they make music they will sing, ‘Zion, all our blessings come from you.’

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken

1 A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded; 2 the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. 3 Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. 4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush*— “This one was born there,” they say. 5 And of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; for the Most High himself will establish her. 6 The Lord records as he registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” 7 Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.”
