Context of Psalms 27:5

3Even if a whole army comes to fight against me, I will not be afraid. Even if they attack me in war, I will continue to trust God. 4There is one thing that I have asked the Lord to do for me. This is the one thing that I really want: I want to live in the Lord's house all the days of my life. Then I will clearly see the Lord's beauty. I will pray to him in his temple. When danger is near, the Lord will keep me safe. He will take care of me in his home. He will put me in a safe place, on the top of a high rock. 6My enemies may be all round me, but I will win against them. They will see how strong I am! I will offer sacrifices to the Lord in his temple. I will be so happy that I will shout aloud! Yes, I will sing to praise the Lord. 7Lord, hear me when I call to you for help. Be kind to me and answer me.

The secret of his confidence is his delight in communion with God (Psa 16:11; 23:6), beholding the harmony of His perfections, and seeking His favor in His temple or palace; a term applicable to the tabernacle (compare Psa 5:7).
