Psalms 84:7

"Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings."

Key Reflection

Psalms 84:7 speaks of a profound transformation where travelers pass through a desolate and sorrowful valley known as "the valley of Weeping," yet they turn it into a place of abundant life and blessing, symbolized by springs. The imagery of autumn rain covering the land with blessings underscores how God's provision can transform even the most challenging environments into sources of spiritual refreshment and sustenance, reflecting His faithful care and abundant grace in the face of adversity.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

They go from strength to strength ... -Margin,” company to company.” The Septuagint and Vulgate, “They go from strength to strength; the God of gods is seen in Zion.” Luther, “They obtain one victory after another, that one must see that there is a righteous God in Zion.” DeWette, “Going they increase in strength, until they appear before God in Zion.” This last is doubtless the true idea. As they pass along, as they come nearer and nearer to the end of their journey, their strength, their ardor, their firmness of purpose increases.
