Psalm 86 (87)

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

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

2 diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Jacob.

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

3 Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei !

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.

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