Psalm 87 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Yahweh Loves the Gates of Zion

Psa 87:1

Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song.

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Psa 87:2

Yahweh loves the gates of Zion

More than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

Psa 87:3

Glorious things are spoken of you,

O city of God. [fn]Selah.

Psa 87:4

“I shall mention [fn]Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me;

Behold, Philistia and Tyre with [fn]Ethiopia:

‘This one was born there.’”

Psa 87:5

But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”;

And the Most High Himself will establish her.

Psa 87:6

Yahweh will count when He registers the peoples,

“This one was born there.” Selah.

Psa 87:7

And singers, just like the dancers, will all say,

“All my springs are in you.”
