Psalm 27:5

tn Or “for he will.” The translation assumes the כִּי (ki) is asseverative here, rather than causal.

tn Heb “he will hide me in his hut.”

tn Or “trouble.”

tn Heb “tent.”

tn The three imperfect verb forms in v. 5 anticipate a positive response to the prayer offered in vv. 7–12.

tn Heb “on a rocky summit he lifts me up.” The Lord places the psalmist in an inaccessible place where his enemies cannot reach him. See Ps 18:2.
