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 think upon Rahab and Babylon * with them that know me.

4 Behold ye the Philistines also * and they of Tyre, with the Morians; lo, there was he born.

5 And of Sion it shall be reported that he was born in her * and the most High shall stablish her.

6 The Lord shall rehearse it when he writeth up the people * that he was born there.

7 The singers also and trumpeters shall he rehearse * All my fresh springs shall be in thee.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son * and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be * world without end. Amen.
