Psalm 87

Good News Translation GNT

1 The Lord built his city on the sacred hill;

2 more than any other place in Israel he loves the city of Jerusalem.

3 Listen, city of God, to the wonderful things he says about you:

4 "I will include Egypt and Babylonia when I list the nations that obey me; the people of Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia I will number among the inhabitants of Jerusalem."

5 Of Zion it will be said that all nations belong there and that the Almighty will make her strong.

6 The Lord will write a list of the peoples and include them all as citizens of Jerusalem.

7 They dance and sing, "In Zion is the source of all our blessings."

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

2 the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

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

4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia--"this one was born there," they say.

5 And of Zion it shall be said, "This one and that one were born in her"; for the Most High himself will establish her.

6 The LORD records as he registers the peoples, "This one was born there." [Selah]

7 Singers and dancers alike say, "All my springs are in you."
