Psalm 87

1 On the holy mountain stands the city he has founded;*
the LORD loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

2 Glorious things are spoken of you,*
O city of our God.

3 I count Egypt and Babylon among those who know me;*
behold Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia:
in Zion were they born.

4 Of Zion it shall be said, “Everyone was born in her,*
and the Most High himself shall sustain her.”

5 The LORD will record as he enrolls the peoples,*
“These also were born there.”

6 The singers and the dancers will say,*
“All my fresh springs are in you.”
