Psalms 87:1-6

1 A psalm of the sons of Korach. A song: On the holy mountains is [the city's] foundation.
2 ADONAI loves the gates of Tziyon more than all the dwellings in Ya'akov.
3 Glorious things are said about you, city of God. (Selah)
4 I count Rahav and Bavel among those who know me; Of P'leshet, Tzor and Ethiopia [they will say], "This one was born there."
5 But of Tziyon it will be said, "This one and that was born in it, for the Most High himself establishes it."
6 When he registers the peoples, ADONAI will record, "This one was born there."(Selah)
