Psalm 87 | New International Version

Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song.

1 He has founded his city on the holy mountain.

2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are said of you, city of God:*

4 ‘I will record Rahab* and Babylon among those who acknowledge me – Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush* – and will say, “This one was born in Zion.” ’*

5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said, ‘This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.’

6 The Lord will write in the register of the peoples: ‘This one was born in Zion.’

7 As they make music they will sing, ‘All my fountains are in you.’
