Text:
Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen, o Herr! es sehnt sich meine Seele nach dem Vorhof des Herrn. Mein Herz frolockt in dem lebendigen Gott. Denn der Sperling findet sein Haus, und die Taube Obdach im Sturm, ich finde deine Altäre, o du mein König , Herr und Gott. Selig sind, die in deinem Hause wohnen, in alle Ewigkeit loben sie Dich. Barmherzigkeit und Wahrheit liebt Gott, und denen die da wandeln in Unschuld, gibt er Gnade und Herrlichkeit.
Translation:
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart exults in the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow shelter from the storm. I find a place near your altar, o Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. The Lord loves mercy and truth, and to those who walk blameless, he gives grace and splendour. O how lovely is thy dwelling place.
