Psalms 87

1 The Lord built Jerusalem on the holy mountain.
2 He loves its gates more than any other place in Israel.
3 City of God, wonderful things are said about you.Selah
4 God says, "I will put Egypt and Babylonia on the list of nations that know me. People from Philistia, Tyre, and Cush will be born there."
5 They will say about Jerusalem, "This one and that one were born there. God Most High will strengthen her."
6 The Lord will keep a list of the nations. He will note, "This person was born there."Selah
7 They will dance and sing, "All good things come from Jerusalem." A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah.
