Notes & Quotes in 27th Psalm

Psalm 27:5a - For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion

"The best of shelter in the worst of danger." - C. H. Spurgeon.

Psalm 27:5b - in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;

Compare: I Kings 1:50-53; I Kings 2:28-34.

Psalm 27:6 - And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Sacrifice and singing!  Not parties in the palace.  Not feasts and festivals.  Not dancing in the streets or planning the next triumph.  But first and foremost, sacrifice and singing.  First to the house of God, the God of my salvation!

Important cross ref: Hebrews 13:15, the sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving.

Psalm 27:8 - When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

Immediate obedience when the Spirit moves you to pray or draw close to God!

Psalm 27:10 - When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

Proven in Genesis 21:14-20; Exodus 2:1-10; II Timothy 4:16-17.

Important cross ref: Isaiah 49:15.
