詩篇 24:7-10 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 24:1-10

The King of glory. Christ as the King of glory is represented here in three aspects. I. AS THE LORD OF THE EARTH . ( Psalms 24:1 , 21.) The kingdoms of this world are limited. Some are larger than others, but the largest has its bounds ( Esther 1:1 ; Daniel 4:1 ). Christ's kingdom is unlimited. Go where you will, pass from one country to another, visit different peoples, with different customs and laws, you can never get beyond its bounds. Like the sky, it covers... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 24:7

Lift up your heads, O ye gates. So sang one half of the choir, calling upon the gates to throw themselves wide open to their full height, that free entrance might he given to the approaching sacred fabric. And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors. Pleonastic, But giving the emphasis of repetition, and adding the epithet "everlasting," because the tabernacle was viewed as about to be continued in the temple, and the temple was designed to be God's house "for ever" ( 1 Kings 8:13 ). And... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 24:7-10

Appeal for God's entrance into the heart of man. Sung on the entry of the ark into the ancient gates of the fortress of Jerusalem. The singers, two choirs of priests—the one bearing the ark, the other already stationed there as warders. First choir demanding admission; second reply from within, "Who is this King of glory?" The transaction may suggest and represent the appeal made for God's entrance into the heart of man. Then— I. THE LANGUAGE WOULD REPRESENT THE MIND OF ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 24:8

Who is this King of glory? The other half of the choir, acting as keepers of the doors, inquires, as if ignorant of the motive and character of the procession, "Who is this King of glory?"—who is it to whom ye give this high-sounding appellation, and to whom ye require us to open? And the reply follows from the previous speakers . The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle . It is Jehovah, the Strong and Mighty One-strong in himself, mighty in his acts, mighty especially in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 24:9

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in . A repetition of Psalms 24:7 , the first part of the choir reiterating its challenge. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 24:10

Who is this King of glory? The second part of the choir reiterates its question, as though not yet quite understanding. "Who is he, this King of glory?" and the first, slightly varying its answer, replies, The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. The epithet, "Lord of hosts" well known at the time ( 1 Samuel 1:11 ; 2 Samuel 5:10 ; 2 Samuel 6:2 ; 2 Samuel 7:18 , 2 Samuel 7:26 , 2 Samuel 7:27 , etc.), made all clear, and, the gates being thrown open, the ark was brought in,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 24:7

Lift up your heads, O ye gates - Either the gates of the city, or of the house erected for the worship of God; most probably, as has been remarked, the former. This may be supposed to have been uttered as the procession approached the city where the ark was to abide, as a summons to admit the King of glory to a permanent residence there. It would seem not improbable that the gates of the city were originally made in the form of a portcullis, as the gates of the old castles in the feudal ages... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 24:8

Who is this King of glory? - This is probably the response of a portion of the choir of singers. The answer is found in the other part of the verse.The Lord strong and mighty - Yahweh, strong and mighty - describing Him by His most exalted attributes as a God of power. This is in accordance with the idea in Psalms 24:1-2, where He is represented as the Creator and the Proprietor of all the earth. Perhaps, also, there is an allusion to the fact that He is mighty, as distinguished from idols... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 24:9

Lift up your heads ... - The repetition here is designed to give force and emphasis to what is uttered. The response in Psalms 24:5 is slightly varied from the response in Psalms 24:8; but the same general sentiment is expressed. The design is to announce in a solemn manner that the symbol of the divine presence and majesty was about to be introduced into the place of its permanent abode, and that this was an event worthy to be celebrated; that even the gates of the city should voluntarily open... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 24:10

Who is this King of glory? - See the notes at Psalms 24:8.The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory - On the meaning of the phrase, “the Lord of hosts,” see the notes at Isaiah 1:9. The essential idea is, that God rules over the universe of worlds considered as marshalled in order, or arrayed as hosts or armies are for battle. All are under His command. The stars in the sky, that seem to be marshalled and led forth in such perfect and beautiful order - the inhabitants of heaven in their... read more
