Psalms 84:1-7

1Lord Almighty, the temple where you live is beautiful!

2I want very much to go to the Lord's temple. I very much want to be in the temple yards. With all that I am, and with great joy, I sing to you, the God who lives for ever!

3In your temple, even sparrows have their homes. Swallows builds their nests there, to take care of their babies. They can be near to your altars, Lord Almighty, my king and my God.

4You have truly blessed those people who live in your temple. They can praise you all the time! Selah.

5You have blessed those people who come to you to make them strong. They love to travel to your temple in Zion.

6As they go through the dry Baka valley, springs of water appear there! The autumn rain covers the valley with pools.

7The people become stronger as they travel, until each one meets with God in Zion.
