1A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation is in the holy mountains.2The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.5And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.6The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there.

Psalm 87
English Standard Version
Glorious Things of You Are Spoken
1A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded; (Ps 42:1; Ps 48:1; Isa 28:16)2the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. (Ps 78:67)3Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. (Ps 46:4; Isa 54:1; Isa 60:1)4Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush[1]— “This one was born there,” they say. (Job 9:13; Ps 36:10; Ps 68:31; Isa 19:22; Joh 10:14)5And of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; for the Most High himself will establish her. (Ps 48:8)6The Lord records as he registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” (Ps 69:28)7Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.” (2Sa 6:14; Ps 36:9; Ps 68:25; Isa 12:3; Re 21:6)
