Context of Psalms 84:4
2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God. 3Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah 5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the highways to Zion. 6Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.
