頌讚錫安

可拉後裔的詩。

87 耶和華的城座落在聖山上。
在雅各的住處中,
祂最喜愛錫安的門。
上帝的城啊,
人們傳揚你的榮耀。(細拉)

「我要把埃及人[a]、巴比倫人、非利士人、泰爾人和古實人列為認識我的民族,
視他們為錫安人。」
至於錫安,必有人說:
「萬族必成為城中的居民,
至高者必親自堅立這城。」
耶和華將萬民登記入冊的時候,
必把他們列為錫安的居民。(細拉)

他們跳舞歌唱說:
「我們蒙福的泉源在錫安。」

This One Was Born in Zion

Psalm 87

A psalm of the sons of Korah, a song.
His foundation is in the holy mountains.
Adonai loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
Glorious things are spoken of you,
city of God. Selah
“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge Me—
behold Philistia and Tyre, with Cush:
    ‘This one was born there.’”
But of Zion it will be said:
    “This one and that one were born in her.”
And Elyon Himself will establish her.
Adonai will count in the register of the peoples:
    “This one was born there.” Selah
Then singing and dancing—
all my fountains of joy are in you!

El privilegio de vivir en Sión

Salmo de los hijos de Coré. Cántico.

87 El Señor se estableció en el monte santo.
El amor del Señor por las puertas de Sión
es mayor que su amor por todas las ciudades de Jacob.
De ti, ciudad de Dios,
se dicen cosas gloriosas.

Entre los que me conocen,
tengo presentes a Rajab y a Babilonia.
Aquí están Filistea y Tiro, con Etiopía.
Éste nació allí.

De Sión se dirá:
«Éste y aquél nacieron en ella.»
El Altísimo mismo la establecerá.
Al inscribir a los pueblos, el Señor anotará:
«Éste nació allá.»

Los que cantan y danzan en ella, dirán:
«Todas mis fuentes están en ti.»

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.”
