Psalms 87
87:2a Yahweh loves
1 his city founded on the holy mountain;
87:2c to any town in Jacob.
3 He has glorious predictions to make of you, city of God! (pause)
4 ‘I will add Egypt and Babylon to the nations that acknowledge me. Of Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia, “Here so and so was born” men say.
5 But all call Zion “Mother”, since all were born in her.’ It is he who makes her what she is, he, the Most High,
6 Yahweh; and as he registers the peoples, ‘It was here’ he writes ‘that so and so was born’. (pause)
7 And there will be princes dancing there[*a]. All find their home in you.
