1. Lord who rules over all, how lovely is the place where you live!
2. I long to be in the courtyards of the Lord's temple. I deeply long to be there. My whole being cries out for the living God.
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.
