871 He has founded his city on the holy mountain.
871 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
871 On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
871 He founded Zion on the Holy Mountain -
871 A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.
871 On the holy mountain stands the city founded by the Lord .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 87:1
Commentary on Psalm 87:1-3
(Read Psalm 87:1-3)
Christ himself is the Foundation of the church, which God has laid. Holiness is the strength and firmness of the church. Let us not be ashamed of the church of Christ in its meanest condition, nor of those that belong to it, since such glorious things are spoken of it. Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, even Jesus Christ. The glorious things spoken of Zion by the Spirit, were all typical of Christ, and his work and offices; of the gospel church, its privileges and members; of heaven, its glory and perfect happiness.
