(Psalm 87)
The Lord built his city on the sacred hill;
more than any other place in Israel
he loves the city of Jerusalem.
Listen, city of God, to the wonderful
things he says about you.:
"I will include Egypt and Babylonia
when I list the nations that obey me;
the people of Philistia, Tyre, and Sudan
I will number among the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
Of Zion it will be said that all nations belong there
and that the Almighty will make her strong.
The Lord will write a list of the peoples
and include them all as citizens of Jerusalem.
They dance and sing.
"In Zion is the source of all our blessings."
