Psalm 24

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 24:1-10

Entering Jehovah’s Holy Place Psalms 24:1-10 Psalms 22:1-31 tells of the cross; Psalms 23:1-6 of the crook; Psalms 24:1-10 of the crown. This great choral hymn was evidently composed to celebrate the removal of the Ark from the house of Obed-edom to Mount Zion, 2 Samuel 6:1-23 . It was conducted with music and song to its resting-place, and this psalm was the marching song of the priests, 1 Chronicles 15:2-27 . Psalms 24:1-2 were sung by the whole festal crowd; Psalms 24:3 by a soloist;... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 24:1-10

This is the final psalm of the three, and as in Psa 22:1-31 the words so far exceed the possibility of exhaustion by any circumstances originating them as to create an opinion unanimously in favor of their Messianic application. In this song the Saviour who through suffering triumphed, the Shepherd; who through pilgrimage leads His own, is seen ascending to the place of power and authority. The first movement recognizes the sovereignty of Jehovah over the created world and its inhabitants... read more

THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S‘The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.’ Psalms 24:1-Exodus : If it be in truth God’s creation, God’s universe, it must be also the manifestation of God, and address itself ever to what is highest, divinest, most spiritual in us. I. The world being recognised to be the work and manifestation of God, is necessarily thereby invested with a deep... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 24

In a sense this may well have been a propaganda Psalm, although with a very spiritual (and political) purpose in view. For David, having captured Jerusalem and having made it his capital (2 Samuel 5:9), erected a tent there which was to house the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH (2 Samuel 6:17). His desire was to see the independent city of Jerusalem, which he had captured from the Jebusites with ‘his men’, calling it the City of David (2 Samuel 5:9), accepted as the sacred city of Israel, and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 24:1-2

The Glory of YHWH (Psalms 24:1-2 ). Psalms 24:1-2 ‘YHWH’s is the earth and its fullness, The world, and those who dwell in it. For HE has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.’ Note the continual parallelisms throughout the Psalm where the second statement repeats the idea of the first in a different way, typical of Hebrew poetry. The initial verses make clear that YHWH, the One who is to seek entry into Jerusalem, is the Creator of the whole earth, Who therefore... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 24:3-6

Who May Enter The Holy Place Of YHWH? (Psalms 24:3-6 ) Psalms 24:3 ‘Who will ascend into the hill of YHWH? And who will stand in his holy place?’ But now having considered the greatness of YHWH an important question arises. Who is fitted to ascend into the place where this powerful Creator and Sustainer of the world will make His earthly dwellingplace? And especially who will be able to face up to His holiness, His total purity and ‘otherness’, and stand his ground before Him (compare Psalms... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 24:7-10

The Call To Let YHWH Enter His Holy City, Bringing About A Revelation Of Who He Is (Psalms 24:7-10 ). Psalms 24:7 ‘Lift up your heads, O you gates, And be you lifted up, you ancient (everlasting) doors, And the King of glory will come in.’ The call now goes out that YHWH might enter in and take possession of what has been His from ancient times. For from of old it had been the city of the Most High God, Who was clearly identified as YHWH, both by its own priest from ancient times (who... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 24

PSALM 24 THE ARGUMENT This Psalm is generally and probably thought to have been composed by David, upon that solemn occasion of brining the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the tabernacle which David had built for it, 2 Samuel 6:0; wherein he hath a further prospect, even to the temple, which he earnestly desired and intended to build, and which he knew would be built by his son. And when this was done, and the ark brought into it, this Psalm was to be sung, and indeed to this time... read more
