I desire and long
    for the Temple[a] courts of the Lord.
My heart and body[b] sing for joy
    to the living God.[c]
Even the sparrow found a house for herself
    and the swallow a nest
to lay[d] her young at your altar,
    Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
        my king and God.
How happy are those who live in your Temple,
    for they can praise you continuously.
