Psalms 87

₁Zion was built by the LORD

on the holy mountain,

₂and he loves that city

more than any other place

in all of Israel.

₃Zion, you are the city of God,

and wonderful things

are told about you.

₄Egypt, Babylonia, Philistia,

Phoenicia, and Ethiopia

are some of those nations

that know you,

and their people all say,

“I was born in Zion.”

₅God Most High will strengthen

the city of Zion.

Then everyone will say,

“We were born here too.”

₆The LORD will make a list

of his people,

and all who were born here

will be included.

₇All who sing or dance will say,

“I too am from Zion.”
