Psalm 87
Contemporary English Version
(A psalm and a song by the clan of Korah.)
The Glory of Mount Zion
1 Zion was built by the Lord
on the holy mountain,
2 and he loves that city
more than any other place
in all of Israel.
3 Zion, you are the city of God,
and wonderful things
are told about you.
4 Egypt,[a] Babylonia, Philistia,
Phoenicia,[b] and Ethiopia[c]
are some of those nations
that know you,
and their people all say,
“I was born in Zion.”
5 God Most High will strengthen
the city of Zion.
Then everyone will say,
“We were born here too.”
6 The Lord will make a list
of his people,
and all who were born here
will be included.
7 All who sing or dance will say,
“I too am from Zion.”
Salmos 87
La Biblia de las Américas
Privilegios del ciudadano de Sión
Salmo de los hijos de Coré. Cántico.
87 En los montes santos están sus cimientos(A).
2 El Señor ama las puertas de Sión(B)
más que todas las otras moradas de Jacob.
3 Cosas gloriosas se dicen de ti(C),
oh ciudad de Dios(D): (Selah[a])
4 Mencionaré a Rahab[b](E) y a Babilonia entre[c] los que me conocen;
he aquí, Filistea y Tiro(F) con Etiopía[d](G); de sus moradores se dirá:
«Este nació allí».
5 Pero de Sión se dirá: Este y aquel nacieron en ella;
y el Altísimo mismo la establecerá(H).
6 El Señor contará al inscribir los pueblos(I):
Este nació allí. (Selah)
7 Entonces tanto los cantores(J) como los flautistas[e](K), dirán:
En ti están todas mis fuentes de gozo(L).

Psalm 87
New International Version
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.”
