Psalms87

Psalms 87 celebrates Zion as the city beloved by the LORD, whose foundation is in the holy mountains. Glorious things are spoken of this city of God, which the LORD cherishes above all other dwellings of Jacob. The psalm prophesies a future where people from various nations, including Rahab (Egypt) and Babylon, will be counted as if "born" in Zion, signifying their inclusion in God's people. The LORD himself will establish Zion, and all spiritual blessings are found within her.
