시편 87

Chapter Summary

에스라 사람 헤만의 탄식 시편으로 시편 전체에서 가장 어두운 내용이다. 쉬지 않고 고통받으며 죽은 자들의 장막으로 내려간 것 같다고 절규한다. 대부분의 탄식과 달리 신뢰나 찬양으로 전환되지 않고 오로지 고통과 어둠만이 남는다.

1His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

5And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

6The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

7As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
