Psalm 87:3-5
New International Version
3 Glorious things are said of you,
city of God:[a](A)
4 “I will record Rahab[b](B) and Babylon
among those who acknowledge me—
Philistia(C) too, and Tyre(D), along with Cush[c]—
and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”[d](E)
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.”
