圣咏集 87

1For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:

2The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

3Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.

4I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.

5Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.

6The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.

7The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.

1Filiis Core. Psalmus cantici. [Fundamenta ejus in montibus sanctis;

2diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Jacob.

3Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei !

4Memor ero Rahab et Babylonis, scientium me; ecce alienigenæ, et Tyrus, et populus Æthiopum, hi fuerunt illic.

5Numquid Sion dicet: Homo et homo natus est in ea, et ipse fundavit eam Altissimus?

6Dominus narrabit in scripturis populorum et principum, horum qui fuerunt in ea.

7Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.]

1A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Its foundations are in the holy mountains:

2the Lord loves the gates of Zion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

3Glorious things are being said of you, O City of God.

4I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold, the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these have been there.

5Will not Zion say that this man and that man were born in her? And the Most High himself has founded her.

6The Lord will explain, in the writings of peoples and of leaders, about those who have been in her.

7For so the dwelling place within you is with all rejoicing.
