Psalm 84 is talking about the pilgrimage of King David to the Holy House of the Lord.
The Holy House of the Lord is expressed in psalm 84 in three forms:
In verse 1) as the dwelling place of the LORD
In verse 2) as the courts of the LORD
In verse 4) as the house of the LORD
Well, we have a House of the Lord.
But we all know that King Solomon built the House of the Lord in Jerusalem. Hence David was not talking about Jerusalem
King David was talking about another house.
In Psalm 84:5-6 you find that pilgrimage was done when David passed through the Valley of Baca.
Then, what is Baca?
Baca is Bakkah or Bekka or Becca or Bakka or Bacca; all are Mecca.
Also King David, while he was in Bacca or Mecca, made a Prophecy about Muhammad.
He said in Psalm 84:12 "Blessed is the man who trusts in you."
The priests wanted to dishonor King David because he dwelled in Arabia, in the tents of Kedar, the son of Ishmael wherein there is the house of the Lord's glory (in Mecca) and also he made Prophecies about Muhammad and the Quran
The Bible claims that King David Committed Adultery, Commanded to kill one of his best soldiers to hide his crime of adultery and to take his wife etc.

Psalm 84 (New International Version)
1 How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Selah
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion
8 Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob. Selah
9 Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.
10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
12 O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

Psalm 84 is talking about the pilgrimage of King David to the Holy House of the Lord.

King David was talking about another house.
In Psalm 84:5-6 you find that pilgrimage was done when David passed through the Valley of Baca.
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage
6 as they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
------------
Then, what is Baca?
Baca is Bakkah or Bekka or Becca or Bakka or Bacca; all are Mecca.
In Verse 3:96 of the Noble Quran:
QARIB: the first house ever to be built for people was that at Bakkah (Mecca) blessed and a guidance for the worlds.
SHAKIR: most surely the first house appointed for men is the one at Bekka, blessed and a guidance for the nations
PICKTHAL: lo! the first sanctuary appointed for mankind was that at Becca, a blessed place, a guidance to the peoples;
YUSUFALI: the first house (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakka: full of blessing and of guidance for all kinds of beings:
Bakkah, Bekka, Becca, Bakka are different pronunciations of Bacca that is an alternative name of Mecca which is in Saudi Arabia.
Kaaba, which is the Holy House of Allah, is present in Mecca (Bacca).
Allah Commanded Abraham to build the Holy House of the Lord (Kaaba) in Mecca, and Abraham had done that mission.
From the time of Abraham up till now, the pilgrimage to Mecca never stopped.
All the messengers and Prophets including King David went on pilgrimage to Mecca.
------------
Also King David, while he was in Bacca or Mecca, made a Prophecy about Muhammad.
He said in Psalm 84:12 "Blessed is the man who trusts in you."
This is a simple but true prophecy about Muhammad.
It is not applicable for the Lord Jesus; it talks about a man who put his trust in His God, the Lord.
Read these verses of the Noble Quran to understand the Prophecy of King David about this man which is Muhammad.
Verse 11:123
To Allah belongs the unseen in the heavens and in the earth; to Him the matter, in its entirety, shall be returned. Worship Him, and put your trust in Him. Your lord is not inattentive of the things you do.
Verse 25:58
Put your trust in the ever-living who never dies, and exalt with his praise, He is sufficiently aware of his worshipers' sins.
Verse 33:48
Do not obey the unbelievers and the hypocrites; pay no attention to their hurt. Put your trust in Allah; Allah suffices as a guardian.

According to the Noble Quran, anyone says or believe that King David or any other prophet 1) Committed Adultery, 2) Tried to conceal his crime by another crime, 3) Commanded to kill one of his best soldiers to hide his crime of adultery etc. will have a terrible journey's end, in the Hereafter and will dwell in the Eternal Fire.
