诗篇87:
1(可拉后裔的诗歌。)耶和华所立的根基在圣山上。
2他爱锡安的门,胜于爱雅各一切的住处。
3神的城阿,有荣耀的事乃指着你说的。(细拉)
4我要提起拉哈伯,和巴比伦人是在认识我之中的,看哪,非利士,和推罗,并古实人,个个生在那里。
5论到锡安必说,这一个那一个都生在其中。而且至高者必亲自坚立这城。
6当耶和华记录万民的时候,他要点出这一个生在那里。(细拉)
7歌唱的,跳舞的,都要说,我的泉源都在你里面。

2He loves the city of Jerusalemmore than any other city in Israel.#87:2 Hebrew He loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. See note on 44:4.
3O city of God,what glorious things are said of you! Interlude
4I will count Egypt#87:4a Hebrew Rahab, the name of a mythical sea monster that represents chaos in ancient literature. The name is used here as a poetic name for Egypt. and Babylon among those who know me—also Philistia and Tyre, and even distant Ethiopia.#87:4b Hebrew Cush.They have all become citizens of Jerusalem!
5Regarding Jerusalem#87:5 Hebrew Zion. it will be said,“Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there.”And the Most High will personally bless this city.
6When the Lord registers the nations, he will say,“They have all become citizens of Jerusalem.” Interlude
7The people will play flutes#87:7 Or will dance. and sing,“The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!”
