Psalms 86

1For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:

Filiis Core. Psalmus cantici. Fundamenta ejus in montibus sanctis;

2The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

diligit Dominus portas Sion super omnia tabernacula Jacob.

3Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.

Gloriosa dicta sunt de te, civitas Dei !

4I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.

Memor ero Rahab et Babylonis, scientium me; ecce alienigenæ, et Tyrus, et populus Æthiopum, hi fuerunt illic.

5Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.

Numquid Sion dicet: Homo et homo natus est in ea, et ipse fundavit eam Altissimus?

6The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.

Dominus narrabit in scripturis populorum et principum, horum qui fuerunt in ea.

7The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.

Sicut lætantium omnium habitatio est in te.
