Psalm 87

A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.

8,6,8,6

^1Upon the hills of holiness

he his foundation sets.

^2God, more than Jacob's dwellings all,

delights in Sion's gates.

^3Things glorious are said of thee,

thou city of the Lord.

^4Rahab 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.

^5And it of Sion shall be said,

This man and that man there

Was born; and he that is most High

himself shall stablish her.

^6When God the people writes, he'll count

that this man born was there.

^7There be that sing and play; and all

my well-springs in thee are.
