Psalm 84:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version

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]
7 They go from strength to strength.
Each one will appear before God in Zion.
