84:5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
84:6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.

84:8 Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty; listen to me, God of Jacob.
84:9 Look on our shield, O God; look with favour on your anointed one.
84:10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
