New International Version
Psalm 87:2-5
New International Version
2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion(A)
more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are said of you,
city of God:[a](B)
4 “I will record Rahab[b](C) and Babylon
among those who acknowledge me—
Philistia(D) too, and Tyre(E), along with Cush[c]—
and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”[d](F)
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.”
