A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah.

1The Lord founded the city on his holy mountain.

2Jerusalem is the city that the Lord loves more than any other city in Israel.87:2. “Israel”: literally, Jacob.

3Many wonderful things are said of you, city of God! Selah.

4I mention Egypt87:4. Literally, “Rahab.” and Babylon as those who know me, and in addition Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia—“this man was born there.”87:4. The meaning of this verse is debated. What it seems to be saying is that despite the patriotism for each country/city mentioned, the best is to be born in Jerusalem. (See following verse.)

5It will be said concerning Jerusalem, “Everyone was born there,”87:5. In other words, everyone will have the right to citizenship in Jerusalem. and the Most High will make it secure.

6When the Lord registers the nations, he will write, “They were born there.”87:6. In Jerusalem. Selah.

7Singers and dancers alike say, “Living here I am at home.”87:7. Literally, “All of my springs are in you.”
