Moses, the man of God, was well known for his passionate intercessory prayers. It is fitting then that even after his death, the people of God would turn to him for prayers on their behalf.

Psalm 87 is one of several Zion songs which celebrates God's city. Psalm 87 is, however, a bit unusual in that it speaks of Jerusalem as a kind of mother city which has birthed the nations and is drawing them back to itself.
