PSALM LXXXVII. A Psalm. A Song for the Sons of Korah.
1 HE in the holy Mountains hath ‖ His firm foundation laid. ‖
2 Th' ETERNAL God loves Zions Gates ‖ more than all Jacob's Tents. ‖
3 City of God, Of thee there are ‖ spoken most glorious things. ‖ Selah. ‖
4 Of Rahab, and of Babylon ‖ I will make mention now ‖ among them that acknowledge me; ‖ Behold Philistia, ‖ and Tyre, with Ethiopia; ‖ There such an one was Born. ‖
