Psalms
Chapter 87
1
(86) Zion, Home of All Peoples1He himself has built it in his holy mountain;
2
the Lord prefers the gates of Zion to all of Jacob’s towns.
3
Great things have been foretold of you, O City of God:
4
Between friends, we speak of Egypt and Babylon; and also Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia: “Here so-and-so was born.”
5
But of Zion, it shall be said, “More and more are being born in her.”
6
For the Most High himself has founded her.
7
And the Lord notes in the people’s register: “All these were also born in Zion.”
8
And all will dance and sing joyfully for you.
