87
A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah.
1 The Lord founded the city on his holy mountain.
2 Jerusalem is the city that the Lord loves more than any other city in Israel.
3 Many wonderful things are said of you, city of God! Selah.
4 I mention Egypt and Babylon as those who know me, and in addition Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia—“this man was born there.”
5 It will be said concerning Jerusalem, “Everyone was born there,” and the Most High will make it secure.
6 When the Lord registers the nations, he will write, “They were born there.” Selah.
7 Singers and dancers alike say, “Living here I am at home.”
