Psalm 87

The Privileges of Citizenship in Zion.

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.

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.”
