Psalmen 87

The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

3

People say wonderful things about you, O city of God.(Selah)

4

I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. Here are Philistia and Tyre, along with Ethiopia. It is said of them,“This one was born there.”

5

But it is said of Zion’s residents,“Each one of these was born in her, and the Most High makes her secure.”

6

The LORD writes in the census book of the nations,“This one was born there.”(Selah)

As for the singers, as well as the pipers– all of them sing within your walls.
