Psalm 86
Ψαλμοί
Psalm 87 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.
1 Τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορὲ ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς. ΟΙ ΘΕΜΕΛΙΟΙ αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσι τοῖς ἁγίοις·
(87) A Psalm of a Song for the sons of Core. His foundations are in the holy mountains.
2 ἀγαπᾷ Κύριος τὰς πύλας Σιὼν ὑπὲρ πάντα τὰ σκηνώματα Ἰακώβ.
The Lord loves the gates of Sion, more than all the tabernacles of Jacob.
3 δεδοξασμένα ἐλαλήθη περὶ σοῦ ἡ πόλις τοῦ Θεοῦ. (διάψαλμα).
Glorious things have been spoken of you, O city of God. Pause.
4 μνησθήσομαι Ραὰβ καὶ Βαβυλῶνος τοῖς γινώσκουσί με· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ Τύρος καὶ λαὸς τῶν Αἰθιόπων, οὗτοι ἐγενήθησαν ἐκεῖ.
I will make mention of Raab and Babylon to them that know me: behold also the Philistines, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these were born there.
5 μήτηρ Σιών, ἐρεῖ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐγενήθη ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν ὁ ¨Υψιστος.
A man shall say, Sion [is my] mother; and [such] a man was born in her; and the Highest himself has founded her.
6 Κύριος διηγήσεται ἐν γραφῇ λαῶν καὶ ἀρχόντων τούτων τῶν γεγενημένων ἐν αὐτῇ. (διάψαλμα).
The Lord shall recount [it] in the writing of the people, and of these princes that were born in her.
7 ὡς εὐφραινομένων πάντων ἡ κατοικία ἐν σοί.
The dwelling of all within you is [as the dwelling] of those that rejoice.
