"This one was born there"

Rich Lusk points out in his fine book Paedofaith how the testimony of the Psalmists is of God being their trust since birth and even conception.

Psalm 87 gives another slant on this wonderful truth that the blessing of being one of the people of God can be traced back to the earliest days. (Thomas, and others who have studied the Psalms much more than I, please correct me if needs be!)

“Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush – ‘This one was born there’, they say.

And of Zion it shall be said,
‘This one and that one were born in her’;
for the Most High himself will establish her.

The LORD records as he registers the peoples,
‘This one was born there.’
