How lovely is Your dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
My soul is longing and sighing
for the courts of theLord:
My heart and my flesh cry for joy
to the living God!
Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest to shelter her young,
Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
my King and my God!
Blessed are they who dwell in Your house, O Lord,
without ceasing they praise You:
when he sets his heart on the sacred journey:
Going through the dry valley, they make it a spring,
the first rain clothes it with blessing:
They go from strength to strength
they shall see the God of Gods in Sion.
O Lord god of hosts, hear my prayer, hearken, O God of Jacob!
O God, our shield, behold, look on the face of Your Anointed!
Psalm 83
