Orthodox Jewish Bible

87 (Of the Bnei Korach. A mizmor. A shir) On the Harei Kodesh (Holy Mountain) stands His foundation.

² Hashem loveth the sha’arei Tziyon more than all the mishkenot Ya’akov.

³ Glorious things are spoken of thee, O Ir HaElohim. Selah.

⁴ To them that know me, I will make mention of Rachav and Babylon; hinei, Philistia, and Tzor, with Ethiopia: this man was born there.

⁵ But of Tziyon it shall be said, This one and that one were born in her; and Elyon Himself shall establish it.

⁶ Hashem shall register, when He writeth up the people, that this one was born there. Selah.

⁷ The sharim (ones singing) as well as the cholelim (players on instruments) shall be there; all my fountains are in thee.
