¹ How lovely is your dwelling place,
    O Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

³ Even the sparrow finds a home,
    and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young
at a place near your altar,
    O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, my King and my God!

⁸ O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, hear my prayer.
    Listen, O God of Jacob. Interlude

¹² O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
    what joy for those who trust in you.
