Psalm LXXXVII

Upon the sacred hills
He his foundation sets:

More than all Jacob's dwellings else
God loveth Sion gates.

Great things are said of thee,
O City of the Lord.

Rahab's and Babel's case to those
That know me I'le record.
It's said of famous Tyre,
And land of Palestine;
And of the Ethiopian land,
This man was born therein.

Of Sion't shall be said,
This man, and that man there
Was born; and he that highest is,
Himself shall stablish her.

When God recites their names,
Who his own people are;
To their great honour he shall count,
That this man was born there.

Singers, and those that play
On musick, there shall be;
Yea, all my springs of holy peace
And comfort, are in thee.
