Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 87:5

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

(i. e.) Of Ierusalem, or the Church of God.

(i. e.) Men of this and that Nation. (i. e.) of every Nation, indifferently, Jews or Gentiles, according to that prediction that Egypt and Assyria and Israel should be all joyned together, and blessed and owned by God for his People, Isa. [illegible: 1+ letters]9. 24, 25. Heb. Man and man, (i. e.) every man or all sorts of men without difference of Nations; as this very Phrase man and man, Lev. 17. 10. 13. is rendred every, or whatman; and as by day and day is meant every day, or from day, to day. [illegible: 1+ letters]st. 3. 4. Psal. 61. 8.

And this shall not be a sudden and transient, but a lasting work; Zion shall continue in its strength and fertility because the Almighty God is her Founder and Protector, and will finish the work which he hath begun.

b It shall be mentioned by God, as was said, Verse 4. and it shall be observed and acknowledged by men as a great and wonderful work of God.
