87. Zion, founded on the mountain

Author: The Psalter 1912, ALT

Zion, founded on the mountain,
God, your maker loves you well;
he has chosen you as precious,
he delights in you to dwell;
God’s own city,
who can all your glory tell?

2. Glorious things of you are spoken,
Zion, city of our God:
people of all tribes and nations
have one birthplace to record:
‘Born in Zion’-
this is written by the Lord!

3. When the Lord includes all nations
far and near, they shall belong.
This their home, their strength, their future;
God most High will keep them strong;
living water-
God himself-shall be their song.
