Psalm 87 God delights in Zion

 Psalm 87

God delights in Zion

1 Its foundation is on the holy mountains.

2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God.

4 I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know me; behold, of Philistia and Tyre and Ethiopia they will say, "This one was born there."

5 And of Zion they will say, "This one and that one were born there." And the Most High himself will establish her.

6 The Lord, when he makes a list of the peoples, will say, "This one was born there."

7 And the singers and players on instruments will sing, "All my springs are in you."
