Psalms 87

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.	1 [Of the sons of Korah Psalm Song] With its foundations on the holy mountains,
2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.	2 Yahweh loves his city, he prefers the gates of Zion to any dwel ing-place in Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.	3 He speaks of glory for you, city of God,Pause
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 'I number Rahab and Babylon among those that acknowledge me; look at Tyre, Philistia, Ethiopia, soand so 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 wil be said, 'Every one was born there,' her guarantee is the Most High.
6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.	6 Yahweh in his register of peoples wil note against each, 'Born there',Pause
7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.	7 princes no less than native-born; all make their home in you.
