Psalm 84:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 My soul yearns and is filled with longing
for the courts of the Lord.
My heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
4 Just as the sparrow searches for a home
and the swallow builds a nest for herself
where she may place her young,
so do I seek your altars,[a]
O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
5 Blessed[b] are those who dwell in your house;
they offer continuous praise to you. Selah
