3. Even a sparrow finds a home,and a swallow, a nest for herselfwhere she places her young —near Your altars, Lord of Hosts,my King and my God.
4. How happy are those who reside in Your house,who praise You continually. Selah
5. Happy are the people whose strength is in You,whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a source of springwater;even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings.
7. They go from strength to strength;each appears before God in Zion.
