    Psalm 84

    For the music leader. According to the Gittith. Of the Korahites. A psalm.

    84 How lovely is your dwelling place,
        Lord of heavenly forces!
    My very being longs, even yearns,
        for the Lord’s courtyards.
    My heart and my body
        will rejoice out loud to the living God!

    Yes, the sparrow too has found a home there;
        the swallow has found herself a nest
        where she can lay her young beside your altars,
        Lord of heavenly forces, my king, my God!
    Those who live in your house are truly happy;
        they praise you constantly. Selah

    Those who put their strength in you are truly happy;
        pilgrimage is in their hearts.
    As they pass through the Baca Valley,
        they make it a spring of water.
        Yes, the early rain covers it with blessings.
    They go from strength to strength,
        until they see the supreme God in Zion.
