Commentary on Psalms 87:6
The psalm continues: "The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there" (Hebrew YHWH yis-por bikh-tov amim zeh yullad-sham). God "counts" and "writes"—maintaining a register of citizens. "This man was born there" is recorded for each individual. The image is the book of life (Exodus 32:32-33, Psalm 69:28, Philippians 4:3, Revelation 20:12-15). Citizenship in God's kingdom is documented, permanent, secured. The verse assures believers their names are written in heaven.
