Even a sparrow finds a home,
and a swallow, a nest for herself
where she places her young—
near your altars, Lord of Armies,
my King and my God.(A)
How happy are those who reside in your house,
who praise you continually.(B)Selah

Happy are the people whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.(C)
