New International Version

Psalm 84:3-8 New International Version (NIV)

3. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar, Lord Almighty, my King and my God.

4. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.

5. Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

6. As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.

7. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.

8. Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty; listen to me, God of Jacob.
