Psalms 86
1 A Psalm of a Song for the sons of
Core.
His foundations are in the holy mountains.
2 The Lord loves the gates of Sion,
more than all the tabernacles of Jacob.
3 Glorious things have been spoken of
thee, O city of God. Pause.
4 I will make mention of Raab and
Babylon to them that know me: behold also the Philistines, and Tyre, and the
people of the Ethiopians: these were born there.
5 A man shall say, Sion
is my mother; and such a man
was born in her; and the Highest himself has founded her.
6 The Lord shall recount
it in the writing of the people, and of these princes
that
aGr. have been in her.were born in her. Pause. 7 The
dwelling of all within thee is as the dwelling of
those that rejoice.
