Psalm 87

1. (0) A psalm of the sons of Korach. A song: 1 (1) On the holy mountains is [the city’s] foundation.

2. Adonai loves the gates of Tziyon 2 more than all the dwellings in Ya‘akov.

3. Glorious things are said about you, 3 city of God. (Selah)

4. I count Rahav and Bavel 4 among those who know me; 4 Of P’leshet, Tzor and Ethiopia [they will say], 4 “This one was born there.”

5. But of Tziyon it will be said, 5 “This one and that was born in it, 5 for the Most High himself establishes it.”

6. When he registers the peoples, Adonai will record, 6 “This one was born there.” (Selah)

7. Singers and dancers alike say, 7 “For me, you are the source of everything.”
