Psalm 87

¹On the holy mountain stands the city he has founded; *the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

²Glorious things are spoken of you, *O city of our God.

³I count Egypt and Babylon among those who know me; *behold Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia: in Zion were they born.

⁴Of Zion it shall be said, “Everyone was born in her, *and the Most High himself shall sustain her.”

⁵The Lord will record as he enrolls the peoples, *“These also were born there.”

⁶The singers and the dancers will say, *“All my fresh springs are in you.”
