Reading Psalms chapter 87 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.

Verses 1–7

1 A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah.

4 I will record Rahab and Babylon amongst those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

5 Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.

6 The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah.

7 Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”
