1 How lovely is the place where you live,O Lord who rules over all!
2 I desperately want to bein the courts of the Lord’s temple.My heart and my entire being shout for joyto the living God.
3 Even the birds find a home there,and the swallow builds a nest,where she can protect her youngnear your altars, O Lord who rules over all,my king and my God.
4 How blessed are those who live in your templeand praise you continually! (Selah)
5 How blessed are those who find their strength in you,and long to travel the roads that lead to your temple!
