Psalms 87

The Lord Loves the Gates of Zion

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.

¹He has founded His city
on the holy mountains.a
²The Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
³Glorious things are ascribed to you,
O city of God.
Selah
⁴“I will mention Rahabb and Babylon
among those who know Me —
along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cushc —
when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

⁵And it will be said of Zion:
“This one and that one were born in her,
and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

⁶The Lord will record in the register of the peoples:
“This one was born in Zion.”
Selah
⁷Singers and pipers will proclaim,
“All my springs of joy are in You.”
