Psalm 87

The Privileges of Citizenship in Zion.

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

The Lord loves the gates of Zion

More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.

Glorious things are spoken of you,

City of God. SelahIsa 62:3

“I shall mention (a)87:4 I.e., Egypt, as a sea monster; not to be confused with Rahab in Joshua 2Rahab and Babylon (b)87:4 Or asamong those who know Me;

Behold, Philistia and Tyre with (c)87:4 Or EthiopiaCush:

‘This one was born there.’ ”

But of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her”;

And the Most High Himself will establish her.Gal 4:26

The Lord will count when He registers the peoples,

“This one was born there.” Selah

Then those who sing as well as those who (d)87:7 Or danceplay the flutes will say,

“All my springs of joy are in you.”
