Psalms 87:1-4

Psalm 87

Written by the Korahites; a psalm, a song.

87:1 The Lord’s city is in the holy hills.

87:2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion

more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

87:3 People say wonderful things about you,

O city of God. (Selah)

87:4 I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers.

Here are Philistia and Tyre, along with Ethiopia.

It is said of them, “This one was born there.”
