Psalms 84:3

Context

84:3 Even the birds find a home there,

and the swallow 1  builds a nest,

where she can protect her young 2 

near your altars, O Lord who rules over all,

my king and my God.

1 tn The word translated “swallow” occurs only here and in Prov 26:2.

2 tn Heb “even a bird finds a home, and a swallow a nest for herself, [in] which she places her young.”

sn The psalmist here romanticizes the temple as a place of refuge and safety. As he thinks of the birds nesting near its roof, he envisions them finding protection in God’s presence.
