For the leader. On the gittit. A psalm of the sons of Korach: How deeply loved are your dwelling-places, ADONAI-Tzva'ot!

My soul yearns, yes, faints with longing for the courtyards of ADONAI; my heart and body cry for joy to the living God.

As the sparrow finds herself a home and the swallow her nest, where she lays her young, [so my resting-place is] by your altars, ADONAI-Tzva'ot, my king and my God.

How happy are those who live in your house; they never cease to praise you! (Selah)

How happy the man whose strength is in you, in whose heart are [pilgrim] highways.

Passing through the [dry] Baka Valley, they make it a place of springs, and the early rain clothes it with blessings.

They go from strength to strength and appear before God in Tziyon.
