³ Even the sparrow finds a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may lay her young,
at thy altars, O Lord of hosts,
    my King and my God.

⁵ Blessed are the men whose strength is in thee,
    in whose heart are the highways to Zion.^[a]
6 As they go through the valley of Baca
    they make it a place of springs;
    the early rain also covers it with pools.

⁸ O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
    give ear, O God of Jacob!Selah
