Psalm 86 [MT 87]

1

[A Psalm of a Song for the sons of Core.] His foundations are in the holy mountains.

Τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορὲ ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς. - ΟΙ ΘΕΜΕΛΙΟΙ αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσι τοῖς ἁγίοις·

2

The Lord loves the gates of Sion, more than all the tabernacles of Jacob.

ἀγαπᾷ Κύριος τὰς πύλας Σιὼν ὑπὲρ πάντα τὰ σκηνώματα ᾿Ιακώβ.

3

Glorious things have been spoken of thee, O city of God. Pause.

δεδοξασμένα ἐλαλήθη περὶ σοῦ ἡ πόλις τοῦ Θεοῦ. (διάψαλμα).

4

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.

μνησθήσομαι Ῥαὰβ καὶ Βαβυλῶνος τοῖς γινώσκουσί με· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ Τύρος καὶ λαὸς τῶν Αἰθιόπων, οὗτοι ἐγενήθησαν ἐκεῖ.

5

A man shall say, Sion [is my] mother; and [such] a man was born in her; and the Highest himself has founded her.

μήτηρ Σιών, ἐρεῖ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐγενήθη ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν ὁ ῞Υψιστος.

6

The Lord shall recount [it] in the writing of the people, and of these princes that were born in her.

Κύριος διηγήσεται ἐν γραφῇ λαῶν καὶ ἀρχόντων τούτων τῶν γεγενημένων ἐν αὐτῇ. (διάψαλμα).

7

The dwelling of all within thee is [as the dwelling] of those that rejoice.

ὡς εὐφραινομένων πάντων ἡ κατοικία ἐν σοί.
