Psalms 87:4

2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God. Selah

“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.’”

5 And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

6 The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
