6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
6 As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools.
6 They wind through lonesome valleys, come upon brooks, discover cool springs and pools brimming with rain!
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools.
6 When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 84:6
Commentary on Psalm 84:1-7
(Read Psalm 84:1-7)
The ordinances of God are the believer's solace in this evil world; in them he enjoys the presence of the living God: this causes him to regret his absence from them. They are to his soul as the nest to the bird. Yet they are only an earnest of the happiness of heaven; but how can men desire to enter that holy habitation, who complain of Divine ordinances as wearisome? Those are truly happy, who go forth, and go on in the exercise of religion, in the strength of the grace of Jesus Christ, from whom all our sufficiency is. The pilgrims to the heavenly city may have to pass through many a valley of weeping, and many a thirsty desert; but wells of salvation shall be opened for them, and consolations sent for their support. Those that press forward in their Christian course, shall find God add grace to their graces. And those who grow in grace, shall be perfect in glory.
