Psalm 24

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:21

Adhered. Hebrew, "innocence, &c., have kept me." (Calmet) --- Those faithful subjects, who have accompanied me in my flight, stand guard to protect me. Requite them, O Lord, and grant peace to all my people. (Haydock) --- My example encourages them to follow thy law, and they will be staggered, if thou grant not my request. (Menochius) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:22

Deliver. Hebrew pede, "redeem." All the 22 (Haydock) letters of the alphabet are complete without this supplication for all Israel, or for the Church. (Worthington) --- It might form a part of the last verse, or belong to the next psalm; unless it be a conclusion like that of Psalm xxxiii., (Calmet) out of the alphabetical order. (Houbigant) --- Israel. St. Augustine and some ancient psalters read, "Me, O God of Israel, from all my tribulations." (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 24:1-6

1-6 We ourselves are not our own; our bodies, our souls, are not. Even those of the children of men are God's, who know him not, nor own their relation to him. A soul that knows and considers its own nature, and that it must live for ever, when it has viewed the earth and the fulness thereof, will sit down unsatisfied. It will think of ascending toward God, and will ask, What shall I do, that I may abide in that happy, holy place, where he makes his people holy and happy? We make nothing of... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 24:7-10

7-10 The splendid entry here described, refers to the solemn bringing in of the ark into the tent David pitched for it, or the temple Solomon built for it. We may also apply it to the ascension of Christ into heaven, and the welcome given to him there. Our Redeemer found the gates of heaven shut, but having by his blood made atonement for sin, as one having authority, he demanded entrance. The angels were to worship him, Hebrews 1:6: they ask with wonder, Who is he? It is answered, that he is... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 24:1-6

The Coming of the King of Glory. The Messianic kingdom. A psalm of David, another hymn of the Messiah and His kingdom, to prepare the believers of the Old Testament for His coming and to inspire the believers of the New Testament with the proper regard for their King. v. 1. The earth is the Lord's, the entire visible creation belongs to Jehovah, as the product of His almighty power, and the fullness thereof, what fills up its contents, everything it contains, is in His power; the world... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 24:7-10

The Welcome of the King v. 7. Lift up your heads. O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall come in. The picture is that of a mighty host moving forward to take possession of Mount Zion, with a great King, who wants to enter the city, the congregation of the saints, at its head. The challenging cry rings out that the gates of Zion, of the spiritual Temple of the Lord, should lift up their heads, their lintels, widen out, make room for the entering of this... read more

Psalms 24:0A Psalm of David1 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof;The world, and they that dwell therein.2 For he hath founded it upon the seas,And established it upon the floods.3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?Or who shall stand in his holy place?4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart,Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity,Nor sworn deceitfully.5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord,And righteousness from the God of his... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 24:3

Psalms A GREAT QUESTION AND ITS ANSWER Psa_24:3 . The psalm from which these words are taken flashes up into new beauty, if we suppose it to have been composed in connection with the bringing of the Ark into the Temple, or for some similar occasion. Whether it is David’s or not is a matter of very small consequence. But if we look at the psalm as a whole, we can scarcely fail to see that some such occasion underlies it. So just exercise your imaginations for a moment, and think of the long... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 24:7-10

Psalms THE GOD WHO DWELLS WITH MEN Psa_24:7 - Psa_24:10 . This whole psalm was probably composed at the time of the bringing of the ark into the city of Zion. The former half was chanted as the procession wound its way up the hillside. It mainly consists of the answer to the question ‘Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?’ and describes the kind of men that dwell with God, and the way by which they obtain their purity. This second half of our psalm is probably to be thought of as... read more
