Psalms 87

The Message Bible MSG

1 He founded Zion on the Holy Mountain -

2 and oh, how God loves his home! Loves it far better than all the homes of Jacob put together!

3 God's hometown - oh! everyone there is talking about you!

4 I name them off, those among whom I'm famous: Egypt and Babylon, also Philistia, even Tyre, along with Cush. Word's getting around; they point them out: "This one was born again here!"

5 The word's getting out on Zion: "Men and women, right and left, get born again in her!"

6 God registers their names in his book: "This one, this one, and this one - born again, right here."

7 Singers and dancers give credit to Zion: "All my springs are in you!"

English Standard Version ESV

1 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 of you are spoken, O city of God. Selah

4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush-- "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."
