Psalm 87

Psalm 87
A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah.
1 On the holy mountain
  stands the city founded by the LORD.
2 He loves the city of Jerusalem
  more than any other city in Israel.*
3 O city of God,
  what glorious things are said of you!    Interlude

4 I will count Egypt* and Babylon among those who know me—
  also Philistia and Tyre, and even distant Ethiopia.*
  They have all become citizens of Jerusalem!
5 Regarding Jerusalem* it will be said,
  "Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there."
  And the Most High will personally bless this city.
6 When the LORD registers the nations, he will say,
  "They have all become citizens of Jerusalem."    Interlude

7 The people will play flutes* and sing,
  "The source of my life springs from Jerusalem!"
