Psalm 87

New Coverdale Version

The Lord loves the foundation which he has laid upon the holy hills; * the gates of Zion are dearer to him than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Very excellent things are spoken of you, * O city of God.

I will consider Egypt and Babylon * among those who know me.

Behold Philistia also, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; * each one was born in her.

And of Zion it shall be reported that each one was born in her, * and the Most High shall establish her.

The Lord shall record it when he registers the people, * that each one was born there.

The singers and the dancers also shall say, * “All my fresh springs are in you.”
