Psalm 84:2-3
Good News Translation

2     How I want to be there!
    I long to be in the Lord's Temple.
With my whole being I sing for joy
    to the living God.
3 Even the sparrows have built a nest,
    and the swallows have their own home;
they keep their young near your altars,
    Lord Almighty, my king and my God.
