Context of Psalms 84:4

2I long and yearn for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh cry out for the living God. 3Even a sparrow finds a home, and a swallow, a nest for herself where she places her young — near your altars, Lord of Armies, my King and my God. How happy are those who reside in your house, who praise you continually.Selah 5Happy are the people whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. 6As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a source of spring water; even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings.
