# Chapter 87
|
|
1 On the holy mountain
|
|
stands the city founded by the Lord.
|
|
2 He loves the city of Jerusalem
|
|
more than any other city in Israel.
|
|
3 O city of God,
|
|
what glorious things are said of you! Interlude
|
|
4 I will count Egypt and Babylon among those who know me—
|
|
also Philistia and Tyre, and even distant Ethiopia.
|
|
They have all become citizens of Jerusalem!
|
|
5 Regarding Jerusalem it will be said,
|
|
“Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there.”
|
|
And the Most High will personally bless this city.
|
|
6 When the Lord registers the nations, he will say,
|
|
“They have all become citizens of Jerusalem.” Interlude
|
|
7 The people will play flutes and sing,
|
|
“The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!” |
