Psalm


Glorious Things of You Are Spoken
87 A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.

    On the holy mount stands the city he founded; 2the LORD loves the gates of Zion
        more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. 3Glorious things of you are spoken,
        O city of God. Selah 4Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
        behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush(1)
        “This one was born there,” they say. 5And of Zion it shall be said,
        “This one and that one were born in her”;
        for the Most High himself will establish her. 6The LORD records as he registers the peoples,
        “This one was born there.” Selah 7Singers and dancers alike say,
        “All my springs are in you.”

Psalm 87:4 - (1) 87:4 Probably *Nubia*
