Psalms 87

2 The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.	2 Yahweh loves his city, he prefers the gates of Zion to any dwel ing-place in Jacob.
3 Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.	3 He speaks of glory for you, city of God,Pause
4 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.	4 'I number Rahab and Babylon among those that acknowledge me; look at Tyre, Philistia, Ethiopia, soand so was born there.'
5 Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.	5 But of Zion it wil be said, 'Every one was born there,' her guarantee is the Most High.
6 The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.	6 Yahweh in his register of peoples wil note against each, 'Born there',Pause
7 The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.	7 princes no less than native-born; all make their home in you.
