1. Lord All-Powerful,how lovely is your Temple!
2. I want more than anythingto be in the courtyards of the Lord’s Temple.My whole being wantsto be with the living God.
3. The sparrows have found a home,and the swallows have nests.They raise their young near your altars,Lord All-Powerful, my King and my God.
4. Happy are the people who live at your Temple;they are always praising you.Selah
5. Happy are those whose strength comes from you,who want to travel to Jerusalem.
6. As they pass through the Valley of Baca,they make it like a spring.The autumn rains fill it with pools of water.
7. The people get stronger as they go,and everyone meets with God in Jerusalem.
8. Lord God All-Powerful, hear my prayer;God of Jacob, listen to me.Selah
