The wise and the great of the world will marvel at Your work, O Lord, and they will be in awe at its mystery; for You will cause the earth to tremble, and not one stone in your house shall remain in its place. Every living stone shall fall down prostrate on the ground.
But great is Your love and wisdom, O Lord; for you shall rebuild your house in greater glory than as it was before. The children and the young generation shall marvel and be in awe of You. From their mouths will these words be heard:
"How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young — a place near your altar, Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you."
