Zion, as depicted in Psalm 87 and throughout scripture, represents God's chosen people and the city of God, symbolizing His presence and grace.
Zion is frequently mentioned in the Bible as a symbol of the city of God, particularly in Psalm 87 where it is described as God's cherished city. The phrase 'glorious things of thee are spoken' indicates the honor and blessing that God bestows upon Zion, representing His church. In the New Testament context, Zion embodies the people of God who are redeemed by the blood of Christ and called to live in His everlasting love. The significance of Zion lies in its representation of God's faithful covenant with His chosen people, who are redeemed and sustained by His grace.
