Translation

World English Bible (WEB), a modern translation.

1A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah.

4I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

5Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.

6The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah.

7Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”

Meditate

Psalm 87 meditation and reflection

God writes even former enemies into the register of his city, saying each was born there. Rest in belonging, and ask whom you have quietly left off your own list.
