Psalms

Psalm 84:5–7

5Blessed are those whose strength is in You,

whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

6As they pass through the Valley of Baca,b

they make it a place of springs;

even the autumn rain covers it with pools.c

7They go from strength to strength,

until each appears before God in Zion.
