Psalm 87  1 On the holy mountain stands the city he has founded; * the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 2 Glorious things are spoken of you, * O city of our God. 3 I count Egypt and Babylon among those who know me; * behold Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia: in Zion were they born. 4 Of Zion it shall be said, "Everyone was born in her, * and the Most High himself shall sustain her." 5 The Lord will record as he enrolls the peoples, * "These also were born there." 6 The singers and the dancers will say, * "All my fresh springs are in you."
