The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 87:5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her. A repetition, but emphatic, and perhaps intended to assert of individuals what in the preceding verse was said of nations. And the highest himself shall establish her; literally, and he, the highest, shall establish her (comp.

Matthew 16:18). The Church is "established" on a Rock, forever.
