Context of Psalms 27:5

3Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident. 4One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock. 6And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah. 7Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

Pavilion comes from papilio and , a butterfly. It signifies a tent made of cloth stretched out on poles, which in form resembles in some measure the insect above named.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5For in the time of trouble - When I am surrounded by dangers, or when affliction comes upon me. He shall hide me - The word used here means to hide; to secrete; and then, to defend or protect.
