To the Director: On the Gittith.

A Psalm by the descendants of Korah.

Longing for God

84 How lovely are your dwelling places,
    Lord of the Heavenly Armies.
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.
