Psalm 87. Fundamenta ejus.

1. HER foundations are upon the holy hills: *
   the Lord loveth the gates of Sion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
2. Very excellent things are spoken of thee, *
   thou city of God.
3. I will make mention of Egypt and Babylon, *
   among them that know me.
4. Behold, Philistia also; and Tyre, with Ethiopia; *
   lo, in Sion were they born.
5. Yea, of Sion it shall be reported, this one and that one were born in her; *
   and the Most High shall stablish her.
6. The Lord shall record it, when he writeth up the peoples; *
   lo, in Sion were they born.
7. The singers also and trumpeters shall make answer: *
   All my fresh springs are in thee.
