Psalm 87

The Message

87 ^1-3He founded Zion on the Holy Mountain—
    and oh, how God loves his home!
Loves it far better than all
    the homes of Jacob put together!
God’s hometown—oh!
    everyone there is talking about you!

⁴I name them off, those among whom I’m famous:
    Egypt and Babylon,
    also Philistia,
    even Tyre, along with Cush.
Word’s getting around; they point them out:
    “This one was born again here!”

⁵The word’s getting out on Zion:
“Men and women, right and left,
get born again in her!”

⁶God registers their names in his book:
“This one, this one, and this one—
born again, right here.”

⁷Singers and dancers give credit to Zion:
“All my springs are in you!”
