My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah;
My heart and my flesh [a]cry out unto the living God.
Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts,
My King, and my God.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:
They will be still praising thee. Selah

  1. Psalm 84:2 Or, sing for joy

My soul yearns,(A) even faints,
    for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
    for the living God.(B)
Even the sparrow has found a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,(C)
    Lord Almighty,(D) my King(E) and my God.(F)
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
    they are ever praising you.[a]
