Psalm 87

The LORD Loves the Gates of Zion

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.

¹ He has founded His city on the holy mountains.^{a 2} The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. ³ Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God.

Selah

⁴ “I will mention Rahab^b and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush^c — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

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

⁶ The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

Selah

⁷ Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
