Context Summary
Psalm 84:5–7 discuss the pilgrims who obediently come to the temple in Jerusalem, referred to here as Zion. This was required three times a year for all males who could make the journey (Deuteronomy 16:16). Knowing they are traveling to worship the Lord, these pilgrims find joy even when their travels are hard. Rather than being worn out and tired, their intense love for God makes them feel stronger the closer they are to the temple.

Chapter Summary
For those who love God, the temple is a place of intense joy and security. The psalmist would rather be there than anywhere else—even if it means being in the humblest postures. Pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem are encouraged to know that their destination is the temple. This makes even the long journey easy, and its hardships seem pleasant. The song appeals to God for His protection over those who honor and praise Him.
