1  How lovely is your ^wdwelling place,

O Lord of hosts!

2  ^xMy soul longs, yes, faints

for the courts of the Lord;

my heart and flesh sing for joy

to the living God.

3  Even the sparrow finds a home,

and the swallow a nest for herself,

where she may lay her young,

at your altars, O Lord of hosts,

^ymy King and my God.

4  ^zBlessed are those who dwell in your house,

ever singing your praise! Selah
