Psalm 84:1-3

Revised Standard Version

The Joy of Worship in the Temple

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

84 How lovely is thy dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
²My soul longs, yea, faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
to the living God.

³Even the sparrow finds a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may lay her young,
at thy altars, O Lord of hosts,
    my King and my God.
