Psalm 87
Smith's Literal Translation Par ▾ 

The LORD Loves the Gates of Zion

1To the sons of Korah chanting a song. His foundations are in the mountains of holiness.

2Jehovah loved the gates of Zion above all the tents of Jacob.

3Honored things being spoken in thee, O city of God. Silence.

4I will make mention of Rahab and Babel to those knowing me: behold the rovers, and Tyre, with Cush; this was born there.

5And to Zion a man will say, And a man was born in her: and he the Most High shall prepare her.

6Jehovah shall recount in writing up the peoples, This was born there. Silence.

7The chiefs according to them beginning: all my fountains in thee.
