Monday Scripture: Psalm 84
Even the Swallow Has Her Nest
-------------------------------
How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord Almighty!
My soul longs and yearns
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
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.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
---------------------------------------
Lord, grant me also a place near the altar
Let me raise my young in your house again
