Psalm 87

1 {a psalm or song for the sons of korah } his foundation is in the holy mountains 2 the lord loveth the gates of zion more than all the dwellings of jacob 3 glorious things are spoken of thee, o city of god selah 4 i will make mention of rahab and babylon to them that know me behold philistia, and tyre, with ethiopia; this man was born there 5 and of zion it shall be said, this and that man was born in her and the highest himself shall establish her 6 the lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there selah 7 as well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there all my springs are in thee
