Chapter 87
1לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מִזְמוֹר שִׁיר יְסוּדָתוֹ בְּהַרְרֵי־קֹֽדֶשׁOf the Korahites. A psalm. A song. The temple’s foundation on the holy mountains—
2אֹהֵב יְהֹוָה שַׁעֲרֵי צִיּוֹן מִכֹּל מִשְׁכְּנוֹת יַעֲקֹֽבthe gates of Zion— GOD loves more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3נִכְבָּדוֹת מְדֻבָּר בָּךְ עִיר הָאֱלֹהִים סֶֽלָהGlorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah.
4אַזְכִּיר רַהַב וּבָבֶל לְֽיֹדְעָי הִנֵּה פְלֶשֶׁת וְצֹר עִם־כּוּשׁ זֶה יֻלַּד־שָֽׁםI mention Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge Me; Philistia, and Tyre, and Cush—each was born there.
5וּלְצִיּוֹן יֵאָמַר אִישׁ וְאִישׁ יֻלַּד־בָּהּ וְהוּא יְכוֹנְנֶהָ עֶלְיֽוֹןIndeed, it shall be said of Zion, “They were all born there.” It is the Most High who will preserve it.
6יְֽהֹוָה יִסְפֹּר בִּכְתוֹב עַמִּים זֶה יֻלַּד־שָׁם סֶֽלָהGOD will inscribe in the register of peoples that each was born there. Selah.
7וְשָׁרִים כְּחֹלְלִים כׇּֽל־מַעְיָנַי בָּֽךְSingers and dancers alike [will say]: “All my roots are in You.”
