Day 1 · The LORD Loves the Gates of Zion
Psalm 87:1–7
1He has founded His city on the holy mountains. 2The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 3Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God. Selah 4“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’” 5And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.” 6The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah 7Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
