Salmo 87
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)
4 «Mencionaré a Egipto[a](E) y a Babilonia entre los que me conocen;
A Filistea y Tiro(F) con Etiopía(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(K), dirán:
«En ti están todas mis fuentes de gozo(L)».
