1For the leader. On the gittith. Of the Korahites, a psalm. How dearly loved is the place where you live, Lord of hosts!
2How I long and yearn for the courts of the Lord. Now heart and flesh cry for joy to the living God.
3Even the sparrow has found her a home and the swallow a nest, to lay her young, near your altar, Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
4Happy those who live in your house, praising you evermore. Selah
5Happy those whose strength is in you, people with pilgrim hearts.
