3Even a bird finds a home, and a swallow a nest for herself,

where she may lay her young,

near your altars, O Yahweh of hosts,

my king and my God.

4Blessed are those who dwell in your house;b

they can ever praise you. Selah

5Blessed is the man whose strength is in you;

in their heart are the highways to Zion.

always singing your praises.

They will be still praising thee. Selah.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;

In whose heart are the ways of them.
