Psalm chapter 87
English Standard Version
1A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded; 2the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. 3Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. Selah 4Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush— “This one was born there,” they say. 5And of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; for the Most High himself will establish her. 6The LORD records as he registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah 7Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.”
New International Version
2The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the other dwellings of Jacob. 3Glorious things are said of you, city of God: 4I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me-- Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush -- and will say, 'This one was born in Zion.'' 5Indeed, of Zion it will be said, 'This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.'
New American Standard Bible
1His foundation is in the holy mountains. 2The LORD loves the gates of Zion More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob. 3Glorious things are spoken of you, City of God. Selah 4'I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me; Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Cush: ‘This one was born there.’?' 5But of Zion it will be said, 'This one and that one were born in her'; And the Most High Himself will establish her. 6The LORD will count when He registers the peoples, 'This one was born there.' Selah 7Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes will say, 'All my springs of joy are in you.'

4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. 5And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. 6The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. 7As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
