Psalm 84

For the choir director; on the gittith; a psalm by Korah’s descendants.

Your dwelling place is lovely, O Yahweh Tsebaoth!
My soul longs and yearns
    for Yahweh’s courtyards.
    My whole body shouts for joy to El Chay.
        Even sparrows find a home,
            and swallows find a nest for themselves.
                There they hatch their young
                    near your altars, O Yahweh Tsebaoth,
    my Melek and my Elohim.

How lovely is your dwelling place,(A)
    Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns,(B) even faints,
    for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
    for the living God.(C)
Even the sparrow has found a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,(D)
    Lord Almighty,(E) my King(F) and my God.(G)
