Psalm 87

The Privileges of Dwelling in Zion

87¹ He has founded his city on the holy mountain. ² The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the other dwellings of Jacob. ³ Glorious things are said of you, city of God:[1]

⁴ "I will record Rahab[2] and Babylon among those who acknowledge me- Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush[3] - and will say, 'This one was born in Zion.' "[4] ⁵ Indeed, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her." ⁶ The Lord will write in the register of the peoples: "This one was born in Zion." ⁷ As they make music they will sing, "All my fountains are in you."
