Psalm 87

THe Lord, hath his Foundations plac'd
Above the heighest mountaines crownes;
Yea, Syons ports, he more hath grac't
Then all the rest of Iacob's Townes:
And, glorious things, are fam'd abrode
Of thee (oh Cittie) lov'd of God. Selah.

For, God accounts, as borne in thee,
Egiptians, if they him desire;
Nay; though from Babell sprung they be
From Chush, Philistia, or from Tyre.
For, he hath sayd, that all on earth
In Syon, may renew their Birth.

The God most high will strengthen her,
And shall record each faithful soul,
As having had first-beeing, there: Selah.
When hee his people doth enrowl,
For, there are, all that play or sing;
And, thence proceeds each blessed thing.
