Psalms 87

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [Of the sons of Korah Psalm Song] With its foundations on the holy mountains,	1 For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:
2 Yahweh loves his city, he prefers the gates of Zion to any dwel ing-place in Jacob.	2 The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
3 He speaks of glory for you, city of God,Pause	3 Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.
4 'I number Rahab and Babylon among those that acknowledge me; look at Tyre, Philistia, Ethiopia, soand so was born there.'	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.
5 But of Zion it wil be said, 'Every one was born there,' her guarantee is the Most High.	5 Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.
6 Yahweh in his register of peoples wil note against each, 'Born there',Pause	6 The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.
7 princes no less than native-born; all make their home in you.	7 The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.
