God's Holy Words - Psalm 87
This psalm celebrates God's Holy City that you and I will someday dwell in. Zion represents the mercy offered to sinners. In him we take refuge.
Glorious Things of You Are Spoken
A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.
1 On the holy mount stands the city he founded; 2 the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. 3 Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. Selah
4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush[a]— “This one was born there,” they say. 5 And of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; for the Most High himself will establish her. 6 The Lord records as he registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah
7 Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.”
