{Psalms 84:3} Yea, x1571 the sparrow 6833 hath found 4672 z8804 an house, 1004 and the swallow 1866 a nest 7064 for herself, where x834 she may lay 7896 z8804 her young, 667 [even] x853 thine altars, 4196 O LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 my King, 4428 and my God. 430
Yea:
etc. Or, rather, "Even as the sparrow findeth a house, and the swallow (deror, or the ring-dove, according to some, but probably the bird which Forskal mentions among the migratory birds of Alexandria, by the name of dururi) a nest for herself where she may lay her young (so I seek) thine altars, O Jehovah, God of hosts, my King and my God." That is, as nature inclines birds to seek and prepare their nests, so grace has taught me to desire thy altars, and to worship there.
sparrow:
