Psalm 84:4-6
New Catholic Bible
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
6 Blessed are those who find strength in you,
who set their hearts upon your ways.[c]
