Psalm 87, NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2

The LORD loves the gates of Zion
More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.
 

3

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

4

“I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me;
Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia:
‘This one was born there.’ ”
 

5

But of Zion it shall be said,
“This one and that one were born in her”;
And the Most High Himself will establish her.
 

6

The LORD will count when He registers the peoples,
“This one was born there.”  Selah.
 

7

Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes shall say,
“All my springs of joy are in you.”
