Context of Psalms 27:5

3Though an army deploys against me, my heart will not be afraid; though a war breaks out against me, I will still be confident. 4I have asked one thing from the Lord; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the Lord and seeking him in his temple. For he will conceal me in his shelter in the day of adversity; he will hide me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock. 6Then my head will be high above my enemies around me; I will offer sacrifices in his tent with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the Lord. 7Lord, hear my voice when I call; be gracious to 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. In the secret of his tabernacle - Were there no other place, he would put me in the holy of holies, so that an enemy would not dare…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5For in the time of trouble - When I am surrounded by dangers, or when affliction comes upon me.
