Psalm 87

 
His foundation upon the holy mountains
the Lord loves,
the gates of Zion,   
more than any dwelling of Jacob.
Glorious things are said of you,  O city of God!
 
I tell of Egypt and Babylon
among those that know the Lord;
Of Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia:
“This man was born there.”
 
And of Zion they shall say:
“One and all were born in her;
And he who has established her
is the Most High Lord.”
 
They shall note, when the peoples are enrolled:
“This man was born there.”
And all shall sing, in their festive dance:
“My home is within you.”  [i]
