Context of Psalms 27:5

3Even though an army sets up camp against me, my heart will not be afraid. Even though a war breaks out against me, I will still have confidence ⌞in the Lord⌟. 4I have asked one thing from the Lord. This I will seek: to remain in the Lord’s house all the days of my life in order to gaze at the Lord’s beauty and to search for an answer in his temple. He hides me in his shelter when there is trouble. He keeps me hidden in his tent. He sets me high on a rock. 6Now my head will be raised above my enemies who surround me. I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy in his tent. I will sing and make music to praise the Lord. 7Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud. Have pity on me, and answer me.

Commentaries on Psalms 27:5

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5He shall hide me in his pavilion - בסכה besuccoh, in his tabernacle. I would make his temple my residence; I would dwell with God, and be in continual safety. 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. He shall hide me - The word used here means to hide; to secrete; and then, to defend or protect.

There he is safe (Psa 31:21; 61:5). The figure is changed in the last clause, but the sentiment is the same.Read the comment
