O Loʀᴅ of hosts!

And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even Your APs 43:4altars, O Loʀᴅ of hosts,
BPs 5:2My King and my God.
4 How APs 65:4blessed are those who dwell in Your house!
They are BPs 42:5, 11ever praising You. 1Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interludeSelah.
