Verse 8 is found in chapter 84 of Psalms. Psalm 84 expresses an intense longing for the sanctuary and God’s presence. Birds finding a place near the temple serve as images of the security associated with the divine house. The psalmist considers one day in God’s courts better than long periods elsewhere and describes the Lord as sun and shield. The final blessing belongs to those who trust him, not simply to those who have physical access to the sanctuary.
