The Book of Psalms

A Psalme or song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God layde his foundations among the holy mountaines.

The Lord loueth the gates of Zion aboue all the habitations of Iaakob.

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O citie of God. Selah.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babel among them that knowe me: beholde Palestina and Tyrus with Ethiopia, There is he borne.

And of Zion it shall be sayde, Many are borne in her: and he, euen the most High shall stablish her.

The Lord shall count, when hee writeth the people, He was borne there. Selah.

Aswell the singers as the players on instruments shall prayse thee: all my springs are in thee.

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah.

I will record Rahab

(a)

and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.

The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah.

Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”

(a)87:4 Rahab is a reference to Egypt.
