Psalm 24

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 24:1-10

INTRODUCTION“This grand choral hymn was in all probability composed and sung on the occasion of the removal of the ark from the house of Obed-Edom to the city of David, on Mount Zion (2 Samuel 6:0). It was a day of solemn gladness and triumph. No long period had elapsed since David had wrested the stronghold of Zion from the last remnant of the hill-tribes of the Canaanites which lingered in Palestine. Henceforth this mountain-city, deemed by its ancient inhabitants impregnable, was selected by... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:3

Psalms 24:3 The reply which the Spirit makes to His own question shows clearly whom He had in His mind when He proposed it. He who would ascend indeed must be a man whose life has never had a spot, in whose heart there is nothing to soil his life, and who has kept all his covenant engagements. When we speak of any Christian making a true ascension, we believe he can only make it as he is in Christ Jesus; we believe that none but One ever did, or ever will, or ever can ascend. But then we... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:3-6

Psalms 24:3-6 I. The men who approach a holy God must be holy. Reason and common-sense proclaim, "Like draws to like." The loftiest form of worship is always imitation. "Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children," is the inmost meaning of all religion; and as imitation is the truest worship, so some spiritual and moral kindred is an absolute necessity for all men that would draw near to their God. II. The men who are pure receive purity as a gift from God. God will give righteousness.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:4

Psalms 24:4 Our hands are the instruments by which we accomplish anything and make ourselves useful, and hence to have "clean hands" means to do honest and good things. I shall tell you about several sorts of hands. I. Dishonest hands. There is every reason why Christians of every rank in life should respond devoutly when the Eighth Commandment is read in church, "Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law." II. Meddlesome and mischievous hands. The habit which many... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:7-8

Psalms 24:7-8 I. The primary reference of the words of the text is to the bringing up of the ark from the house of Obed-edom into the tent prepared for its reception within the precincts of the city of David. II. As in the Old Testament we read of the typical ark being borne along in procession unto the city of God's solemnities, the scene of sacrifice and burnt-offering, so in the New Testament are similar things recorded of the true and spiritual ark. David's procession was the solemn... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:7-10

Psalms 24:7-10 I. Notice the historical and original application of these words to the King who dwelt with Israel. The thought of God in these words is mainly that of a God of strong and victorious energy, a Warrior-God, a conquering King, One whose word is power, who rules amidst the armies of heaven and amidst the inhabitants of earth. II. These words speak to us not only of the God that dwelt in Zion in outward and symbolical form, by means of a material presence which was an emblem of the... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Psalms 24:3

Climbing the Mountain June the 16th, 1861 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?" Psalms 24:3 . There is little doubt that this Psalm has a primary reference to the Lord Jesus Christ. He it is who alone ascended up on high by his own merits, and by virtue of a perfect obedience stands in God's holy place. He alone of mortal race hath clean hands and a pure heart; he hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor hath he sworn deceitfully therefore hath he... read more
