Psalms 87

(Af Koras Sønner. En Salme. En Sang.) Sin Stad, grundfæstet på hellige Bjerge, har Herren kær,

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Zions Porte fremfor alle Jakobs Boliger.

The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Der siges herlige Ting om dig, du Guds Stad. - Sela.

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

Jeg nævner Rahab og Babel blandt dem, der kender HERREN, Filisterland, Tyrus og Kusj, en fødtes her, en anden der.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

Men Zion kalder man Moder, der fødtes enhver, den Højeste holder det selv ved Magt.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

HERREN tæller efter i Folkeslagenes Liste, en fødtes her, en anden der. - Sela.

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

Syngende og dansende siger de: "Alle mine Kilder er i dig!"

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
