God Loves Jerusalem

A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah.

87 
The Lord built Jerusalem on the holy mountain.

He loves its gates more than any other place in Israel.

City of God,

wonderful things are said about you. Selah

God says, “I will put Egypt and Babylonia

on the list of nations that know me.

People from Philistia, Tyre, and Cush

will be born there.”

They will say about Jerusalem,

“This one and that one were born there.

God Most High will strengthen her.”

The Lord will keep a list of the nations.

He will note, “This person was born there.” Selah

They will dance and sing,

“All good things come from Jerusalem.”
