Psalms 27:6 - Exposition

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me . 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 ( Psalms 27:3 ), 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. Psalms 89:15 ). I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord (comp. Ephesians 5:19 ).
