87
(A psalm and a song by the people of Korah.)
The Glory of Mount Zion
1 Zion was built by the Lord
on the holy mountain,
2 and he loves that city
more than any other place
in all of Israel.
3 Zion, you are the city of God,
and wonderful things
are told about you.

4 Egypt,
a 87.4 Egypt: The Hebrew text has “Rahab,” the name of a monster that stands for Egypt (see Isaiah 30.7).
Babylonia, Philistia,
Phoenicia,
b 87.4 Phoenicia: See the note at 83.7.
and Ethiopia
c 87.4 Ethiopia: See the note at 68.31.
are some of those nations
that know you,
and their people all say,
“I was born in Zion.”

5 God Most High will strengthen
the city of Zion.
Then everyone will say,
“We were born here too.”
6 The Lord will make a list
of his people,
and all who were born here
will be included.

7 All who sing or dance will say,
“I too am from Zion.”
