What does Psalm 27:6 mean?

Confidence that he will triumph over all his enemies does not inspire David to take credit for victory. Instead, he would joyfully offer sacrifices to the Lord in the tabernacle and sing to the Lord. Likely, the sacrifices would be thank offerings.

Such joyful celebration had marked the occasion when David retrieved the ark of the covenant from the Philistines. He brought it to Jerusalem "with rejoicing" (2 Samuel 6:12). He "danced before the LORD with all his might" (2 Samuel 6:14). "David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the horn" (2 Samuel 6:15).

The Lord Jesus promised to be with us always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20). The apostle Paul reminded the Philippians that "the Lord is at hand" (Philippians 4:5). Hebrews 13:5 gives us a promise from the Lord: "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Knowing the Lord is present with every believer always and everywhere should cause us to rejoice greatly with thanksgiving. It also gives us truth to cling to when circumstances cause us anxiety (Psalm 27:7–9).
