Psalm 87
By Korah’s descendants; a psalm; a song.
⌞The city⌟ the Lord has founded ⌞stands⌟ on holy mountains.
The Lord loves the city of Zion
more than any other place in Jacob.
Glorious things are said about you, O city of God!
Selah
 
⌞The Lord says,⌟ “I will add Egypt and Babylon
as well as Philistia, Tyre, and Sudan
to the list of those who acknowledge me.
Each nation ⌞will claim that it⌟ was born there.”
 
But it will be said of Zion,
“Every race is born in it.
The Most High will make it secure.”
The Lord will record this in the Book of Nations:
“Every race ⌞claims that it⌟ was born there.”
Selah
Singers and dancers will sing,
“Zion is the source of all our blessings.”
