Psalmen 87

1This house is resting on the holy mountain. 2The Lord has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob. 3Noble things are said of you, O town of God. (Selah.) 4Rahab and Babylon will be named among those who have knowledge of me; see, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man had his birth there. 5And of Zion it will be said, This or that man had his birth there; and the Most High will make her strong. 6The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. (Selah.)
