Psalm 87
{\i A Psalm of a Song for the sons of Core.} - His foundations are in the holy mountains. The Lord loves the gates of Sion, more than all the tabernacles of Jacob. Glorious things have been spoken of thee, O city of God. Pause. I will make mention of Raab and Babylon to them that know me: behold also the Philistines, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these were born there. A man shall say, Sion is my mother; and such a man was born in her; and the Highest himself has founded her. The Lord shall recount it in the writing of the people, and of these princes that {Gr. have been in her} were born in her. The dwelling of all within thee is as the dwelling of those that rejoice.
