Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.[d]
They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
I'm following along with Pete Greig's pilgrimage from Iona to Lindisfarme. Today he was talking about Saint Aiden, who evangelised the north of England 1500 years ago.
Aiden walked (mostly) from Iona to Lindisfarme, stopping to talk to people, rich or poor, all the way and show God's love at every opportunity. He almost certainly sang that psalm along the way and perhaps thought of the Valley of Baka and tried to make his journey resemble that verse.
