27:4-6 Shelter in His Sanctuary. "House of the Lord," "temple," "tent," and "sacrifices" show that these verses focus on public worship; they view unhindered access to God's presence in worship as the best of all gifts. This is the place of true delight and true safety.
27:4 David, the author of this psalm, could have called the tabernacle a "house" (Josh. 6:24; 1 Sam. 1:7; 3:15) and a temple (1 Sam. 1:9; 3:3). On dwell in the house of the Lord, see Ps. 23:6. God's beauty is what the faithful yearn to gaze upon (i.e., to behold with admiration and affection) as they seek him in worship.
