Psalm 87

David Koyzis ©

1. God placed his city on his holy mountain;
   Our Lord so loves the gates of Zion's town
   More than all other towns in Jacob's land.
   City of God, great things of you are spoken.
   
2. "I will record from every pagan nation
   (Even from Babylon and Egypt's land,
   Philistia, Tyre and Ethiopia)
   All who, though far from home, are born in Zion."
   
3. The Most High will establish Zion's people
   And guard her citizens in every land.
   All whom he loves he counts as native born;
   Singing for joy, they draw on Zion's wellsprings.
