Psalm 87

New King James Version

The Glories of the City of God

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.

87 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
²^(A)The Lord loves the gates of Zion
More than all the dwellings of Jacob.
³^(B)Glorious things are spoken of you,
O city of God! Selah

⁴“I will make mention of ^[a]Rahab and Babylon to those who know Me;
Behold, O Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia:
‘This one was born there.’ ”

⁵And of Zion it will be said,
“This one and that one were born in her;
And the Most High Himself shall establish her.”
⁶The Lord will record,
When He ^(C)registers the peoples:
“This one was born there.” Selah

⁷Both the singers and the players on instruments say,
“All my springs are in you.”

Micah 4:1-4

New King James Version

The Lord’s Reign in Zion^(A)

4 Now ^(B)it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And peoples shall flow to it.
²Many nations shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
³He shall judge between many peoples,
And rebuke strong nations afar off;
They shall beat their swords into ^(C)plowshares,
And their spears into ^[a]pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
^(D)Neither shall they learn war anymore.

⁴^(E)But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree,
And no one shall make them afraid;
For the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
