Psalms 84:6
_ _ valley of Baca — or, “weeping.” Through such, by reason of their dry and barren condition, the worshippers often had to pass to Jerusalem. As they might become wells, or fountains, or pools, supplied by refreshing rain, so the grace of God, by the exercises of His worship, refreshes and revives the hearts of His people, so that for sorrows they have “rivers of delight” (Psalms 36:8; Psalms 46:4). |
Psalms 84:6
Baca — A dry valley in the way to Jerusalem, here put for all places of like nature. Make a well — They dig divers little pits or wells in it for their relief. The rain — God recompenses their diligence with his blessing, sending rain wherewith they may be filled. |
Psalms 84:6
[Who] passing through the valley of (c) Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
(c) So that the poor birds have more freedom than I. |

- Baca:
- etc. or, mulberry-trees, make him a well, etc. Baca is probably a large shrub, which the Arabs still call baca, (see note on
2 Samuel 5:23 And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; [but] fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
); and this valley, as Celsius observes, seems to be one "embarrassed with (such) bushes and thorns, which could not be passed without labour and tears" - bacah, as 7; MSS, LXX, Aquila, and Vulgate read.
2 Samuel 5:22-24 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. ... And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

- the rain:
Psalms 68:9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
2 Kings 3:9-20 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them. ... And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
