Psalm 87 Fundamenta ejus.

HER foundations are upon the holy hills: * the LORD loveth the gates of Sion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

²Very excellent things are spoken of thee, * thou city of God.

³I will make mention of Egypt and Babylon, * among them that know me.

⁴Behold, Philistia also; and Tyre, with Ethiopia; * lo, in Sion were they born.

⁵Yea, of Sion it shall be reported, this one and that one were born in her; * and the Most High shall stablish her.

⁶The LORD shall record it, when he writeth up the peoples; * lo, in Sion were they born.

⁷The singers also and trumpeters shall make answer: * All my fresh springs are in thee.
