Psalm 87

By Korah’s descendants; a psalm; a song.

The city Yahweh has founded stands on holy mountains.
Yahweh loves the city of Zion
    more than any other place in Jacob.
Glorious things are said about you, O city of Elohim! Selah

The Lord says, “I will add Egypt and Babylon
    as well as Philistia, Tyre, and Sudan
        to the list of those who acknowledge me.
            Each nation will claim that it was born there.”

But it will be said of Zion,
    “Every race is born in it.
        Elyon will make it secure.”
Yahweh will record this in the Book of Nations:
    “Every race claims that it was born there.” Selah
Singers and dancers will sing,
    “Zion is the source of all our blessings.”

The Glories of the City of God

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.

87 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
(A)The Lord loves the gates of Zion
More than all the dwellings of Jacob.
(B)Glorious things are spoken of you,
O city of God! Selah

“I will make mention of [a]Rahab and Babylon to those who know Me;
Behold, O Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia:
‘This one was born there.’ ”

And of Zion it will be said,
“This one and that one were born in her;
And the Most High Himself shall establish her.”
The Lord will record,
When He (C)registers the peoples:
“This one was born there.” Selah

Both the singers and the players on instruments say,
“All my springs are in you.”

  1. Psalm 87:4 Egypt

Alabanza a la ciudad de Dios

(1a) Salmo y cántico de los hijos de Coré.

87 (1b) Los cimientos de la ciudad de Dios
están sobre los montes santos.
El Señor ama las puertas de Sión
más que a todas las casas de Jacob.
Ciudad de Dios,
qué cosas tan hermosas se dicen de ti:
«Entre los pueblos que me conocen
puedo nombrar a Egipto y Babilonia,
Filistea, Tiro y Etiopía;
todos ellos nacieron en ti.»

De la ciudad de Sión dirán:
«Éste y aquél nacieron en ella.»
El Altísimo mismo la ha afirmado.
El Señor escribe en el libro
donde constan los nombres de los pueblos:
«Éste nació en ella.»

Y los que cantan y los que bailan dicen:
«Mi hogar está en ti.»
