Psalms 87

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 [Of the sons of Korah Psalm Song] With its foundations on the holy mountains,	1 לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מִזְמֹור שִׁיר יְסוּדָתֹו בְּהַרְרֵי־קֹדֶשׁ
2 Yahweh loves his city, he prefers the gates of Zion to any dwel ing-place in Jacob.	2 אֹהֵב יְהוָה שַׁעֲרֵי צִיֹּון מִכֹּל מִשְׁכְּנֹות יַעֲקֹב
3 He speaks of glory for you, city of God,Pause	3 נִכְבָּדֹות מְדֻבָּר בָּךְ עִיר הָאֱלֹהִים סֶלָה
4 'I number Rahab and Babylon among those that acknowledge me; look at Tyre, Philistia, Ethiopia, soand so was born there.'	4 אַזְכִּיר ׀ רַהַב וּבָבֶל לְיֹדְעָי הִנֵּה פְלֶשֶׁת וְצֹור עִם־כּוּשׁ זֶה יֻלַּד־שָׁם
5 But of Zion it wil be said, 'Every one was born there,' her guarantee is the Most High.	5 וּלֲצִיֹּון ׀ יֵאָמַר אִישׁ וְאִישׁ יֻלַּד־בָּהּ וְהוּא יְכֹונְנֶהָ עֶלְיֹון
6 Yahweh in his register of peoples wil note against each, 'Born there',Pause	6 יְהוָה יִסְפֹּר בִּכְתֹוב עַמִּים זֶה יֻלַּד־שָׁם סֶלָה
7 princes no less than native-born; all make their home in you.	7 וְשָׁרִים כְּחֹלְלִים כָּל־מַעְיָנַי בָּךְ
