The residents of Zion (Jerusalem) will be glad. They will be proud to be called its citizens. They will make music and sing, “All my fountains are in you!” And residents of heaven (the New Jerusalem) will multiply this praise. For we have been redeemed by Jesus Christ!
Psalm 87
Of the Sons of Korah.
A psalm. A song.
1 He has founded his city on the holy mountain.
2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are said of you,
city of God:
4 “I will record Rahab and Babylon
among those who acknowledge me—
Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush—
and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”
5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said,
“This one and that one were born in her,
and the Most High himself will establish her.”
6 The Lord will write in the register of the peoples:
“This one was born in Zion.”
7 As they make music they will sing,
“All my fountains are in you.”
