Psalm 87
Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song.
1 He has founded his city on the holy mountain.(A)
2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion(B)
more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are said of you,
city of God:[a](C)
4 “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)
5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said,
“This one and that one were born in her,
and the Most High himself will establish her.”
6 The Lord will write in the register(H) of the peoples:
“This one was born in Zion.”

Jerusalem—Guds by og hans folks hjem
87 En sang af Koras slægt.
Han grundlagde sin by på de hellige høje.
2 Ja, Herren elsker Zions stad
langt mere end andre byer i Israel.
3 Jerusalem, du er Guds egen by,
der siges mange herlige ting om dig.
4 I Egypten og Babylonien,
i filistrenes land, i Tyrus og Kush
er der folk, der kender Gud
og føler, at Jerusalem er deres hjem.
5 I Jerusalem siger man til hinanden:
„Vi hører alle til på dette sted,
og den Almægtige tager hånd om sin by.”
6 Herren fører regnskab over alle mennesker,
og noterer dem, der hører Jerusalem til.
7 De danser af glæde, mens de lovpriser byen:
„Du er alt, hvad vi har brug for.”
