I want very much to go to the Lord's temple.
    I very much want to be in the temple yards.
With all that I am, and with great joy,
    I sing to you, the God who lives for ever!
In your temple,
    even sparrows[a] have their homes.
Swallows builds their nests there,
    to take care of their babies.
They can be near to your altars,
    Lord Almighty, my king and my God.
You have truly blessed those people
    who live in your temple.
They can praise you all the time!
Selah.
