King James Bible
"Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them."
The psalmist declares divine favor upon those who draw their power from God rather than self-reliance. This beatitude reflects the pilgrimage context of Psalm 84, where travelers depend entirely on God's sustaining strength for their journey to the temple. The pilgrim paths to Zion are internalized—not just physical routes but spiritual disciplines embedded in one's inner life. The Hebrew suggests these sacred highways exist within the believer's heart, indicating that worship begins with an oriented soul before any outward journey.
