1 How lovely is your dwelling place,(A)
Lord Almighty!
2 My soul yearns,(B) even faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.(C)

and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,(D)

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.[c]
