New Living Translation NLT
1 (86-1) <For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle.> The foundations thereof are the holy mountains:
1
On the holy mountain stands the city founded by the LORD .
2 (86-2) The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
2
He loves the city of Jerusalem more than any other city in Israel.
3 (86-3) Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.
3
O city of God, what glorious things are said of you! Interlude
4 (86-4) I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.
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 (86-5) Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.
5
Regarding Jerusalem it will be said, “Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there.” And the Most High will personally bless this city.
6 (86-6) The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.
6
When the LORD registers the nations, he will say, “They have all become citizens of Jerusalem.” Interlude
7 (86-7) The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.
7
The people will play flutes and sing, “The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!”
