“Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.”
Even small creatures participate: "Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she lays her young—at your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God!" The image of birds finding safe haven at the altars emphasizes the sanctuary's function as place of refuge and belonging. The personal pronouns (my King, my God) establish an intimate relationship.
