Context of Psalms 84:4
2My soul longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the Lord; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. 3Even the sparrow has found a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, Where she may lay her young— Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts, My King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You. Selah 5Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage. 6As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house - They who have such a constant habitation in thy temple as the sparrow or the swallow has in the house wherein it has built its nest.
