Psalm 87:1-Psalm 88:1 - Zion, The City Of God

¹ A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.
His foundation is in the holy mountains.
² The Lord loves the gates of Zion
More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.
³ Glorious things are spoken of you,
O city of God. Selah.

⁴ “I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me;
Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia:
‘This one was born there.’”
⁵ But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”;
And the Most High Himself will establish her.
⁶ The Lord will count when He registers the peoples,
“This one was born there.” Selah.
⁷ Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes shall say,
“All my springs of joy are in you.”

¹ A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choir director; according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.
O Lord, the God of my salvation,
I have cried out by day and in the night before You.
