Psalms
The book of Psalms invites you to come with Him just as you are—bringing your joy, sorrow, fear, gratitude, and hope into honest conversation with God. These sacred songs and prayers teach us that every emotion can become worship, and every season can draw us closer to the heart of a faithful Shepherd who listens, comforts, and leads.
Psalms 87
The LORD Loves the Gates of Zion
1 A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.
2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious 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.’”
5 And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”
6 The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah
7 Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
