A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains. (LXX 86:1; Rahlfs 86:1)
לִבְנֵי־קֹ֭רַח מִזְמ֣וֹר שִׁ֑יר יְ֝סוּדָת֗וֹ בְּהַרְרֵי־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃
2The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. (LXX 86:2; Rahlfs 86:2)
אֹהֵ֣ב יְ֭הוָה שַׁעֲרֵ֣י צִיּ֑וֹן מִ֝כֹּ֗ל מִשְׁכְּנ֥וֹת יַעֲקֹֽב׃
3Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God. Selah (LXX 86:3; Rahlfs 86:3)
נִ֭כְבָּדוֹת מְדֻבָּ֣ר בָּ֑ךְ עִ֖יר הָאֱלֹהִ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃
4“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me—along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush—when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’” (LXX 86:4; Rahlfs 86:4)
אַזְכִּ֤יר ׀ רַ֥הַב וּבָבֶ֗ל לְֽיֹ֫דְעָ֥י הִנֵּ֤ה פְלֶ֣שֶׁת וְצ֣וֹר עִם־כּ֑וּשׁ זֶ֝֗ה יֻלַּד־שָֽׁם׃
5And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.” (LXX 86:5; Rahlfs 86:5)
וּֽלֲצִיּ֨וֹן ׀ יֵאָמַ֗ר אִ֣ישׁ וְ֭אִישׁ יֻלַּד־בָּ֑הּ וְה֖וּא יְכוֹנְנֶ֣הָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃
6The Lord will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah (LXX 86:6; Rahlfs 86:6)
יְֽהוָ֗ה יִ֭סְפֹּר בִּכְת֣וֹב עַמִּ֑ים זֶ֖ה יֻלַּד־שָׁ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃
7Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.” (LXX 86:7; Rahlfs 86:7)
וְשָׁרִ֥ים כְּחֹלְלִ֑ים כָּֽל־מַעְיָנַ֥י בָּֽךְ׃
