English.png English text

O how amiable are Thy dwellings, Thou Lord of Hosts.
My soul longeth, yea even fainteth for the courts of the Lord.
My heart and my flesh cryeth for the living God.

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house
and the swallow a nest for herself
Where she may lay her young.
Even Thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.

Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house;
They will be alway praising Thee.
Amen.
