Psalm 87

New Living Translation NLT

1 On the holy mountain stands the city founded by the LORD .

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

3 O city of God, what glorious things are said of you! Interlude

4 I will count Egypt and Babylon among those who know me— also Philistia and Tyre, and even distant Ethiopia. They have all become citizens of Jerusalem!

5 Regarding Jerusalem it will be said, “Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there.” And the Most High will personally bless this city.

6 When the LORD registers the nations, he will say, “They have all become citizens of Jerusalem.” Interlude

7 The people will play flutes and sing, “The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!”

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!"
