3 Lord who rules over all, even the sparrow has found a home near your altar. My King and my God, the swallow also has a nest there, where she may have her young.
4 Blessed are those who live in your house. They are always praising you. Selah
5 Blessed are those whose strength comes from you. They have decided to travel to your temple.
6 As they pass through the dry Valley of Baca, they make it a place where water flows. The rain in the fall covers it with pools.
7 Those people get stronger as they go along, until each of them appears in Zion, where God lives.
8 Lord God who rules over all, hear my prayer. God of the people of Jacob, listen to me. Selah
9 God, look with favor on your anointed king. You appointed him to be like a shield that keeps us safe.
