87 (Of the Bnei Korach. A mizmor. A shir) On the Harei Kodesh (Holy Mountain) stands His foundation.
2 Hashem loveth the sha’arei Tziyon more than all the mishkenot Ya’akov.
3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O Ir HaElohim. Selah.
4 To them that know me, I will make mention of Rachav and Babylon; hinei, Philistia, and Tzor, with Ethiopia: this man was born there.
5 But of Tziyon it shall be said, This one and that one were born in her; and Elyon Himself shall establish it.
6 Hashem shall register, when He writeth up the people, that this one was born there. Selah.
7 The sharim (ones singing) as well as the cholelim (players on instruments) shall be there; all my fountains are in thee.
