Psalms 84:1
How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!
2 My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
