Himno a Jerusalén

SALMO 87 (86)

Himno de la Escuela de música de Coré.

87 Dios mismo fundó
la ciudad de Jerusalén
sobre su montaña.
No hay en todo Israel
otra ciudad más amada por Dios
que la ciudad de Jerusalén.

Ciudad de Dios,
de ti se dicen cosas muy bellas.
4-5 Dios ha dicho:
«Entre los pueblos que me adoran
se encuentran Egipto y Babilonia,
Tiro, Etiopía y Filistea.
La gente de esas naciones dirá:
“¡Conocí a Dios en Jerusalén!”
Y lo mismo dirán los del monte Sión.

»Yo, el Dios altísimo,
fundé Jerusalén
con mis propias manos.
En mi lista de naciones,
yo mismo escribí:
“Toda esta gente
me conoció en Jerusalén”».

Y entre cantos y danzas,
esas naciones dirán:
«Conocimos a Dios en Jerusalén».

Psalm 87

Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song.

He has founded his city on the holy mountain.(A)
The Lord loves the gates of Zion(B)
    more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.

Glorious things are said of you,
    city of God:[a](C)
“I will record Rahab[b](D) and Babylon
    among those who acknowledge me—
Philistia(E) too, and Tyre(F), along with Cush[c]
    and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”[d](G)
Indeed, of Zion it will be said,
    “This one and that one were born in her,
    and the Most High himself will establish her.”
The Lord will write in the register(H) of the peoples:
    “This one was born in Zion.”

As they make music(I) they will sing,
    “All my fountains(J) are in you.”
