Wishing to Be in the Temple

For the director of music. By the gittith. A song of the sons of Korah.

84 Lord of heaven’s armies,
    how lovely is your Temple!
I want to be in
    the courtyards of the Lord’s Temple.
My whole being wants
    to be with the living God.
The sparrows have found a home.
    And the swallows have nests.
They raise their young near your altars,
    Lord of heaven’s armies, my King and my God.
