Psalms 87
The Lord favors Zion above all other places, and glorious things are spoken of the city of God. Zion is compared to other great cities, but it is said that those who are born in Zion are especially blessed. The Lord will count those born in Zion among his people, and the city will be a place of joy and music.
1His foundation is in the holy mountains.2The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.5And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.6The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.7As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
