颂赞锡安

可拉后裔的诗。

87 耶和华的城坐落在圣山上。
在雅各的住处中,
祂最喜爱锡安的门。
上帝的城啊,
人们传扬你的荣耀。(细拉)

“我要把埃及人[a]、巴比伦人、非利士人、泰尔人和古实人列为认识我的民族,
视他们为锡安人。”
至于锡安,必有人说:
“万族必成为城中的居民,
至高者必亲自坚立这城。”
耶和华将万民登记入册的时候,
必把他们列为锡安的居民。(细拉)

他们跳舞歌唱说:
“我们蒙福的泉源在锡安。”

God Loves Jerusalem

A song of the sons of Korah.

87 The Lord built Jerusalem on the holy mountain.
    He loves its gates
    more than any other place in Israel.
City of God,
    wonderful things are said about you. Selah
God says, “I will put Egypt and Babylonia
    on the list of nations that know me.
People from Philistia, Tyre and Cush
    will be born there.”

They will say about Jerusalem,
    “This one and that one were born there.
    God Most High will strengthen her.”
The Lord will keep a list of the nations.
    He will note, “This person was born there.” Selah
They will dance and sing,
    “All good things come from Jerusalem.”
