Psalms 87:4

"I will mention Rahab ['the arrogant one''; Egypt in the west, see Isa. 30:7] and Babylon [in the east]
among those who know me.
Behold, Philistia [present-day Gaza] and Tyre [Lebanon] with Cush [the area south of Egypt],
[and they say:] this one was born there."
[Now Zion speaks, or more likely the Lord (Yahweh). These countries all have negative memories of oppression – slavery in Egypt and captivity in Babylon. Will these countries know God? The three countries listed below also evoke feelings. The Philistines were the enemy that the Israelites so often fought against, Tyre was the proud and wealthy nation in the north, and Cush represents the distant and unknown. The phrase "this one was born there" can refer to the nation, or a Jew born in the diaspora, or a Gentile, who is to be counted as God's people. The same phrase recurs in verse 6.]
