4Etenim passer invenit sibi domum,For even the sparrow has found a home for himself,et turtur nidum sibi,and the turtle-dove a nest for herself,ubi ponat pullos suos:where she may lay her young:altaria tua,your altars,Domine virtutum,O Lord of hosts,rex meus,my kinget Deus meus.and my God.

5Beati qui habitant in domo tua,Blessed are those who dwell in your house,Domine;O Lord.in sæcula sæculorum laudabunt te.They will praise you from age to age.

6Beatus vir cujus est auxilium abs te:Blessed is the man whose help is from you.ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,In his heart, he is disposed to ascend

7in valle lacrimarum,from the valley of tears,in loco quem posuit.from the place which he has determined.

13Non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia:He will not withhold good things from those who walk in innocence.Domine virtutum,O Lord of hosts,beatus homo qui sperat in te.blessed is the man who hopes in you.
