Even sparrows find a home,
and swallows find a nest for themselves.
There they hatch their young
near your altars, O Lord of Armies, my king and my God.
Blessed are those who live in your house.
They are always praising you. Selah
Blessed are those who find strength in you.
Their hearts are on the road ⌞that leads to you⌟.
As they pass through a valley where balsam trees grow,
they make it a place of springs.
The early rains cover it with blessings.
Their strength grows as they go along
until each one of them appears
in front of God in Zion.
O Lord God, commander of armies, hear my prayer.
Open your ears, O God of Jacob. Selah
