Psalm 87

In Praise of Jerusalem

1   The  LORD  built  his  city  on  the  sacred  hill; 
2     more  than  any  other  place  in  Israel 
    he  loves  the  city  of  Jerusalem. 
3   Listen,  city  of  God, 
    to  the  wonderful  things  he  says  about  you: 

4   “I  will  include  Egypt  and  Babylonia 
    when  I  list  the  nations  that  obey  me; 
  the  people  of  Philistia,  Tyre,  and  Ethiopia 
    I  will  number  among  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem.” 

5   Of  Zion  it  will  be  said 
    that  all  nations  belong  there 
    and  that  the  Almighty  will  make  her  strong. 
6   The  LORD  will  write  a  list  of  the  peoples 
    and  include  them  all  as  citizens  of  Jerusalem. 
7   They  dance  and  sing, 
    “In  Zion  is  the  source  of  all  our  blessings.”
