Psalm 87 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song.

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion

More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

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

[Selah

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me:

Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia:

This one was born there.

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her;

And the Most High himself will establish her.

Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples,

This one was born there.

[Selah

They that sing as well as they that dance shall say,

All my fountains are in thee.
