1 How lovely is your dwelling place,Lord of heavenly forces!
2 My very being longs, even yearns,for the Lord’s courtyards.My heart and my bodywill rejoice out loud to the living God!
3 Yes, the sparrow too has found a home there;the swallow has found herself a nestwhere she can lay her young beside your altars,Lord of heavenly forces, my king, my God!
4 Those who live in your house are truly happy;they praise you constantly. Selah
5 Those who put their strength in you are truly happy;pilgrimage is in their hearts.
6 As they pass through the Baca Valley,they make it a spring of water.Yes, the early rain covers it with blessings.
