Psalms 87:5 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And of Zion... — This verse must be taken as antithetical to the preceding. The poet claims a prouder boast for natives of Jerusalem, because it was established by the Most High. Render, But of Zion it is said, “This man and that (literally, man and man) was born in her, and her the Most High established.”

Psalms 87:5

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