Just as the sparrow seeks her home,
    and the swallow finds in her own nest
    a place to lay her young,
I, too, seek Your altars, my King and my God,
    Commander of heaven’s armies.
How blessed are those who make Your house their home,
    who live with You;
    they are constantly praising You.

[pause][a]

Blessed are those who make You their strength,
    for they treasure every step of the journey [to Zion].[b]
