Salm 87

3. Nithean ro‑ghlòrmhor innsear ort,
a chathair àlainn Dhè.
4 Rahab is Bàbel cuimhnicheam
don dream don aithne mi;

Gabh beachd air Tìrus mar an ceudn',
is dùthaich Phalestin,
Maille ri Etiopia:
am fear seo rugadh 'n sin.

5 Mu thimcheall Shioin theirear seo,
Am fear seo rugadh fòs,
'S am fear ud innt'; an Tì as àird
socraichidh i air chòir.

6 Tràth sgrìobhas Dia le cuimhne mhaith
na fineachan fa leth,
'N sin àirmhidh e gum b'ann an siud
bha 'm fear seo air a bhreith.

English:

3 Things glorious are said of thee,
thou city of the Lord.
4 Rahab and Babel I, to those
that know me, will record:

Behold ev'n Tyrus, and with it
the land of Palestine,
And likewise Ethiopia;
this man was born therein.

5 And it of Sion shall be said,
This man and that man there
Was born; and he that is most High
himself shall stablish her.

6 When God the people writes, he'll count
that this man born was there.
7 There be that sing and play; and all
my well-springs in thee are.
