Psalms 87

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.	1 A psalm of the Korahites. A song. The LORD loves the city founded on holy mountains,
2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.	2 Loves the gates of Zion more than any dwelling in Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.	3 Glorious things are said of you, O city of God! Selah
4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.	4 From Babylon and Egypt I count those who acknowledge the LORD. Philistia, Ethiopia, Tyre, of them it can be said: "This one was born there."
5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.	5 But of Zion it must be said: "They all were born here." The Most High confirms this;
6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.	6 the Lord notes in the register of the peoples: "This one was born here." Selah
7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.	7 So all sing in their festive dance: "Within you is my true home."
