Psalms 84:6

4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.

7 They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.

8 O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
