Psalms

Chapter 87

Zion, City of God

The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of the city of God. Egypt, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia shall be counted as born in Zion. The Lord records in His register that each was born there. All springs of joy are in Zion.

²The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

³Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

⁴I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

⁵And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

⁶The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

⁷As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
