Psalms 84:3-10

³Even the sparrow has found her a house and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young near your altars, Yahweh of hosts, my King, and my God.

⁴Blessed are they who live in your house; they praise you continually. Selah

⁵Blessed is the man whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways up to Zion.

⁶Passing through the Valley of Tears, they find springs of water to drink. The early rains cover it with blessings.

⁷They go from strength to strength; every one of them appears before God in Zion.

⁸Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer; God of Jacob, listen to what I am saying! Selah

⁹God, watch over our shield; show concern for your anointed.

¹⁰For one day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to live within the tents of the wicked.
