Psalm 84:4-6
Evangelical Heritage Version

The Blessings of Being There

4 How blessed are those who live in your house. Interlude
They are always praising you.
5 How blessed is everyone whose strength is found in you.
The highways to Jerusalem[a] are in their hearts.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,[b]
    it becomes full of springs.[c]
The autumn rain also covers it with pools.[d]
