Psalm 87

A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.

1        Upon the hills of holiness

                   he his foundation sets.

2        God, more than Jacob's dwellings all,

                   delights in Sion's gates.

3        Things glorious are said of thee,

                   thou city of the Lord.

4        Rahab and Babel I, to those

                   that know me, will record:

          Behold ev'n Tyrus, and with it

                   the land of Palestine,

          And likewise Ethiopia;

                   this man was born therein.

5        And it of Sion shall be said,

                   This man and that man there

          Was born; and he that is most High

                   himself shall stablish her.

6        When God the people writes, he'll count

                   that this man born was there.

7        There be that sing and play; and all

                   my wellsprings in thee are.
