Psalms 87
1ON the holy mountains are His foundations!
2The Lord loveth the gates of Sion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3Glorious things have been said of thee, O city of God.
4Shall I mention Rahab or Babylon to those gaining a knowledge of me? Behold the Philistines and Tyrians, and the tribe of the Ethiopians say, Such and such were born there.
5Man will say, “Sion is my mother”; and, “In it such a man was born.” “The Most High Himself founded it”
6this will be the account which the Lord will give in the enrollment of peoples and of those chiefs who were born in it.
7How delighted must all be, whose habitation is in Thee!
