Wishing to Be in the Temple

For the director of music. On the gittith [C perhaps a musical term or instrument]. A psalm of the sons of Korah [C descendants of Kohath, son of Levi, who served as temple musicians; 1 Chr. 6:22].

84 Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts],
    how lovely is your ·Temple [L residence; dwelling place]!
I ·want more than anything
    to be in [L long, even faint for] the courtyards of the ·Lord’s Temple [L Lord].
My ·whole being wants
    to be with [L heart/mind and flesh sing for joy to] the living God.
The sparrows have found a home,
    and the swallows have nests.
They raise their young near your altars,
    Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts], my King and my God.
·Happy [Blessed] are the people who live at your ·Temple [L house];
    they are always praising you. ·Selah [Interlude]
