Psalm 87 - Fundamenta ejus

1   The Lord loves the foundation which he has laid upon the holy hills; +
    the gates of Zion are dearer to him than all the dwellings of Jacob.

2   Very excellent things are spoken of you, +
    O city of God.

3   I will consider Egypt and Babylon +
    among those who know me.

4   Behold Philistia also, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; +
    each one was born in her.

5   And of Zion it shall be reported that each one was born in her, +
    and the Most High shall establish her.

6   The Lord shall record it when he registers the people, +
    that each one was born there.

7   The singers and the dancers also shall say, +
    “All my fresh springs are in you.”
