颂赞锡安

可拉后裔的诗。

87 耶和华的城坐落在圣山上。
在雅各的住处中,
祂最喜爱锡安的门。
上帝的城啊,
人们传扬你的荣耀。(细拉)

“我要把埃及人[a]、巴比伦人、非利士人、泰尔人和古实人列为认识我的民族,
视他们为锡安人。”
至于锡安,必有人说:
“万族必成为城中的居民,
至高者必亲自坚立这城。”
耶和华将万民登记入册的时候,
必把他们列为锡安的居民。(细拉)

他们跳舞歌唱说:
“我们蒙福的泉源在锡安。”

Psalmul 87

Al korahiţilor. Un psalm. Un cântec.

El i-a pus temelia în munţii cei sfinţi.
Domnul iubeşte porţile Sionului
    mai mult decât oricare altă locuinţă din Iacov.
Lucruri slăvite s-au spus despre tine,
    cetate a lui Dumnezeu!Sela
Voi aminti Rahabul[a] şi Babilonul
    ca fiind printre cei ce Mă cunosc
– chiar şi Filistia şi Tirul, alături de Cuş –
    şi voi zice: „Acesta a fost născut acolo!“

Cât despre Sion se va zice:
    „Acesta şi acela au fost născuţi în el.“
        şi Însuşi Cel Preaînalt îl va întări.
Domnul va scrie în registrul popoarelor:
    „Acesta s-a născut acolo.“Sela
Cântăreţii şi cei ce joacă spun:
    „Toate izvoarele mele sunt în tine!“

Psalm 87

Zion, the City of God

A psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.

His foundation is on the holy mountains.(A)
The Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.(B)
Glorious things are said about you,
city of God.(C)Selah

“I will mention those who know Me:
Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush—
each one was born there.”(D)
And it will be said of Zion,
“This one and that one were born in her.”
The Most High Himself will establish her.(E)
When He registers the peoples,
the Lord will record,
“This one was born there.”(F)Selah
Singers and dancers alike will say,
“My whole source of joy is[a] in you.”(G)

Psalm 87

Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song.

He has founded his city on the holy mountain.(A)
The Lord loves the gates of Zion(B)
    more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.

Glorious things are said of you,
    city of God:[a](C)
“I will record Rahab[b](D) and Babylon
    among those who acknowledge me—
Philistia(E) too, and Tyre(F), along with Cush[c]
    and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”[d](G)
Indeed, of Zion it will be said,
    “This one and that one were born in her,
    and the Most High himself will establish her.”
The Lord will write in the register(H) of the peoples:
    “This one was born in Zion.”

As they make music(I) they will sing,
    “All my fountains(J) are in you.”
