The journey to Zion

84 Lord Almighty,
    the temple where you live is beautiful!
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.
