People who search bible verses about pavilion want Scripture on God as sok — pavilion, booth, covering — not only the hiding place (sether) twin or a parked secret-place page. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about God's presence, Bible verses about protection, Bible verses about comfort, Bible verses about prayer, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about refuge, and Bible verse of the day. Pavilion here means sok / sacred-tent covering — distinct from hiding-place alone and not a secret-place twin.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, pavilion / booth is often סֹךְ sok (Strong's H5520; Bible Hub H5520) — a thicket, booth, or pavilion. Psalm 27:5 asks to be hidden in the shelter of his sacred tent (sok) and set high upon a rock. Related booth / dwelling language runs through the Psalms and into New Testament "dwelling" (skēnē / skēnoō) imagery. This list tracks pavilion / covering — not the sether hiding-place page and not a parked secret-place twin.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Psalm 27 presses that in the day of trouble God hides his people in his pavilion and sets them on a rock, and that desire for God's house is desire for safety with God (Bible Hub MHC Psalms 27; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Psalm 27). (Hiding-place and protection lists live on those pages; this list centers pavilion.)
