Book of Psalms
Psalm 87
Citizenship in Zion.


A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.


1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 The Lord loveth the gates of Zion[1] more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious[2] things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her[3].

6 The Lord shall count[4], when he writeth[5] up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
