[a]As the sparrow finds a home
    and the swallow a nest to settle her young,
My home is by your altars,
    Lord of hosts, my king and my God!(A)
Blessed are those who dwell in your house!
    They never cease to praise you.
Selah

II

Blessed the man who finds refuge in you,
    in their hearts are pilgrim roads.
