Psalms 87

¹ A psalm of the Korahites. A song. The LORD loves the city founded on holy mountains,

² Loves the gates of Zion more than any dwelling in Jacob.

³ Glorious things are said of you, O city of God! Selah

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 But of Zion it must be said: "They all were born here." The Most High confirms this;

⁶ the Lord notes in the register of the peoples: "This one was born here." Selah

⁷ So all sing in their festive dance: "Within you is my true home."
