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.’

Zion, die Mutter der Völker

1 Ein Psalmlied der Korachiter. Sie ist fest gegründet auf den heiligen Bergen. 2 Der HERR liebt die Tore Zions mehr als alle Wohnungen Jakobs. 3 Herrliche Dinge sagt man von dir, du Stadt Gottes. Sela. 4 »Ich zähle Ägypten und Babel zu denen, die mich kennen, auch die Philister und Tyrer samt den Kuschitern: Die sind dort geboren.« 5 Man wird von Zion sagen: / »Ein jeder ist dort geboren«; und er selbst, der Höchste, erhält es. 6 Der HERR spricht, wenn er aufschreibt die Völker: »Die sind dort geboren.« Sela. 7 Und sie singen beim Reigen: Alle meine Quellen sind in dir!
