Psalms 84:3,4

I cannot sufficiently admire the beauty of these expressions. The happiness of a bird freed from all fears, and taking her quiet repose in a nest, out of the reach of every enemy, in one of the upper apartments of the altar, is a fine image to represent the security and tranquility of a soul resting on the bosom of Christ in God. Well might he add, All are blessed that are thus housed, and fed, and nourished, and secured.
