1. How lovely is Your dwelling place,O Lord of Hosts!
2. My soul longs, yes, even faintsfor the courts of the Lord;my heart and my body cry outfor the living God.
3. Yes, the sparrow has found a homeand the swallow a nest for herself,where she may lay her young,even at Your altars,O Lord of Hosts, my King and my God.
4. Blessed are those who dwell in Your house;they continually praise You. Selah
5. Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,in whose heart are the paths to Zion.
6. As they pass through the Valley of Baca,they makes it a spring;the early rain also covers it with pools.
7. They go from strength to strength;every one of them appears in Zion before God.
