This phrase reflects a confident assurance of victory and divine protection. In the context of ancient Israel, being surrounded by enemies was a common experience, yet the psalmist expresses a profound trust in God's deliverance. The imagery of the head being held high signifies honor, triumph, and vindication. This confidence is rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God promises to be their shield and defender (<a href="/genesis/15.htm">Genesis 15:1</a>). The phrase also echoes the sentiment found in <a href="/psalms/3-3.htm">Psalm 3:3</a>, where God is described as the lifter of the psalmist's head, indicating restoration and dignity. This can be seen as a type of Christ, who, despite being surrounded by adversaries, was ultimately exalted and given the name above every name (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9</a>).At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; The tabernacle, during the time of David, was the central place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. Offering sacrifices was a key aspect of worship, symbolizing atonement, thanksgiving, and dedication to God. The mention of "shouts of joy" highlights the celebratory and communal nature of worship in ancient Israel. This joyful expression is not just a personal act but a public declaration of God's faithfulness and deliverance. The tabernacle also foreshadows the coming of Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate sacrifice and the true tabernacle (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>, <a href="/hebrews/9-11.htm">Hebrews 9:11</a>). In Christ, believers find the fulfillment of all sacrifices and the reason for ultimate joy and celebration.I will sing and make music to the LORD. Singing and making music were integral parts of Hebrew worship, often accompanied by instruments like the harp, lyre, and cymbals. This phrase emphasizes the importance of praise and worship as a response to God's goodness and deliverance. Music in worship serves to glorify God and edify the community of believers. The act of singing to the LORD is a recurring theme throughout the Psalms (e.g., <a href="/psalms/95.htm">Psalm 95:1</a>, <a href="/psalms/100-2.htm">Psalm 100:2</a>), underscoring its significance in expressing faith and devotion. This also points to the New Testament practice of singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs as a means of teaching and admonishing one another in the faith (<a href="/colossians/3-16.htm">Colossians 3:16</a>). The joy and gratitude expressed through music reflect the believer's relationship with God, made possible through Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate reason for our praise.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a> The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/27.htm">Psalm 27</a>, David is expressing his confidence in God's protection and deliverance from his enemies. 2. <a href="/topical/e/enemies.htm">Enemies</a> The adversaries surrounding David, representing any opposition or threat to his well-being and faith. 3. <a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a> The dwelling place of God among His people, symbolizing His presence and the place of worship and sacrifice. 4. <a href="/topical/s/sacrifices.htm">Sacrifices</a> Offerings made to God, often involving animals, symbolizing devotion, thanksgiving, and atonement. 5. <a href="/topical/s/shouts_of_joy_and_music.htm">Shouts of Joy and Music</a> Expressions of worship and praise, reflecting a heart full of gratitude and trust in God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/c/confidence_in_god's_deliverance.htm">Confidence in God's Deliverance</a> Trust that God will lift you above your challenges and adversaries, just as He did for David. <a href="/topical/w/worship_as_a_response_to_victory.htm">Worship as a Response to Victory</a> Recognize that worship and praise are appropriate responses to God's deliverance and blessings. <a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_god's_presence.htm">The Power of God's Presence</a> Seek God's presence in your life, as it is a source of strength and joy, much like the tabernacle was for David. <a href="/topical/j/joyful_sacrifices.htm">Joyful Sacrifices</a> Offer your life as a living sacrifice, filled with joy and gratitude, reflecting the heart of worship described in this verse. <a href="/topical/c/community_worship.htm">Community Worship</a> Engage in corporate worship, understanding the importance of gathering with others to praise God, as David did at the tabernacle.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_27.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 27</a> <a href="/q/what_are_snowflake_adoptions.htm">What does it mean to worship?</a> <a href="/q/how_did_david_see_god's_power_in_exile.htm">Psalm 63:2 speaks of seeing God's power in the sanctuary--how could David witness this if he was exiled from the sanctuary?</a> <a href="/q/why_does_psalm_40_6_downplay_sacrifices.htm">Psalm 40:6 - Why does this verse downplay the role of sacrifices and offerings, seemingly contradicting other Old Testament passages that emphasize the necessity of animal sacrifices?</a> <a href="/q/can_christians_get_the_beast's_mark_unknowingly.htm">What is the meaning of Psalm 27:4?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/27.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(6) Sacrifices of joy.--Literally, of shouting; so LXX. and Vulg., hostiam vociferationis.

A further and final triumph is confidently anticipated. God will complete his work. He will repulse the "host" by which David is about to be attacked (ver. 3), give him victory over it, bring him back from exile, and grant him once more free access to the sanctuary. Therefore, says the psalmist, will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; or, "sacrifices of joyful sound," accompanied with singing and instrumental music (comp. <a href="/psalms/89-15.htm">Psalm 89:15</a>).
