New American Standard Bible
Chapter 87
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.'King James Version

1 On the holy mount stands the city he founded; 2the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. 3 Glorious 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 7 Singers 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:
4"I 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."
