Psalm 87 | New International Reader’s Version

A psalm of the Sons of Korah. A song.

1 The LORD has built his city on the holy mountain. 2 He loves the city of Zion more than all the other places where the people of Jacob live. 3 City of God, the LORD says glorious things about you. 4 He says, ‘I will include Egypt and Babylon in a list of nations who recognise me as king. I will also include Philistia and Tyre, along with Cush. I will say about them, “They were born in Zion.” ’ 5 Certainly it will be said about Zion, ‘This nation and that nation were born in it. The Most High God himself will make it secure.’ 6 Here is what the LORD will write in his list of the nations. ‘Each of them was born in Zion.’ 7 As they make music they will sing, ‘Zion, all our blessings come from you.’

Jerusalem - staden Gud älskar

1 Högt på sitt heliga berg har Gud byggt Jerusalem, den stad han älskar mer än någon annan! 3 Du Guds stad, hur mycket underbart får man inte höra om dig, för Herren säger: 4 "I Egypten och Babylonien finns det människor som känner mig, och också bland filisteerna och i Tyrus och Etiopien ber man till mig." 5 Men en dag ska man säga om Jerusalem: "Alla innevånare känner Gud!" Ja, Gud, den högste har grundat denna stad. 6 Herren ska räkna alla folk och göra upp en lista över dem, och där ska han ange vilka som är medborgare i Jerusalem. 7 Och vid festerna ska de dansa och sjunga: "Jerusalem är källan till alla våra välsignelser."
