1 Your dwelling place is lovely, O Lord of Armies!
2 My soul longs and yearnsfor the Lord’s courtyards.My whole body shouts for joy to the living God.
3 Even sparrows find a home,and swallows find a nest for themselves.There they hatch their youngnear your altars, O Lord of Armies,my king and my God.
4 Blessed are those who live in your house.They are always praising you. Selah
5 Blessed are those who find strength in you.Their hearts are on the road ⌊that leads to you⌋.
6 As they pass through a valley where balsam trees grow,they make it a place of springs.The early rains cover it with blessings.
