Parallel
Psalms 87
Berean Standard Bible · Westminster Leningrad Codex
A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains (note: Literally His foundation is on the holy mountains).
לִבְנֵי־ קֹ֭רַח מִזְמ֣וֹר שִׁ֑יר יְ֝סוּדָת֗וֹ בְּהַרְרֵי־ קֹֽדֶשׁ׃
The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
אֹהֵ֣ב יְ֭הוָה שַׁעֲרֵ֣י צִיּ֑וֹן מִ֝כֹּ֗ל מִשְׁכְּנ֥וֹת יַעֲקֹֽב׃
Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God. Selah
נִ֭כְבָּדוֹת מְדֻבָּ֣ר בָּ֑ךְ עִ֖יר הָאֱלֹהִ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃
“I will mention Rahab (note: Rahab is a poetic name for Egypt.) and Babylon among those who know Me—along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush (note: That is, the upper Nile region)—when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”
אַזְכִּ֤יר׀ רַ֥הַב וּבָבֶ֗ל לְֽיֹ֫דְעָ֥י הִנֵּ֤ה פְלֶ֣שֶׁת וְצ֣וֹר עִם־ כּ֑וּשׁ זֶ֝֗ה יֻלַּד־ שָֽׁם׃
And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”
וּֽלֲצִיּ֨וֹן׀ יֵאָמַ֗ר אִ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִישׁ יֻלַּד־ בָּ֑הּ וְה֖וּא יְכוֹנְנֶ֣הָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃
The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah
יְֽהוָ֗ה יִ֭סְפֹּר בִּכְת֣וֹב עַמִּ֑ים זֶ֖ה יֻלַּד־ שָׁ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃
Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
וְשָׁרִ֥ים כְּחֹלְלִ֑ים כָּֽל־ מַעְיָנַ֥י בָּֽךְ׃
