Psalm 87

The Privileges of Citizenship in Zion.

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah.
4 "I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me; Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia: 'This one was born there.'"
5 But of Zion it shall be said, "This one and that one were born in her"; And the Most High Himself will establish her.
6 The LORD will count when He registers the peoples, "This one was born there." Selah.
7 Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes shall say, "All my springs of joy are in you."
