Psalm 24:1, Psalm 37:21 NLT

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 24:1

The earth is the Lord’s - The whole world belongs to God. He is the Creator of the earth, and therefore, its Proprietor; or, in other words, “the property vests in him.” It belongs to Him in a sense somewhat similar to our right of property in anything that is the production of our hands, or of our labor or skill. We claim that as our own. We feel that we have a right to use it, or to dispose of it, as we choose. No other person has a right to take it from us, or to dictate to us how we shall... read more

God’s general dominion over, and interest in, all persons and places, seem to be here premised and asserted, 1st,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:1-10

Psalms 24:0 The triumphal entrySaul had taken little interest in the religious life of Israel. During his reign the ark of the covenant (or covenant box) remained in a country house in Kiriath-jearim. David set about correcting this state of affairs by restoring the ark, symbol of God’s presence, to its rightful place at the centre of the nation’s religious life. One of the greatest days of his life, therefore, was the day on which he brought the ark into Jerusalem (1 Samuel 7:1-2; 2 Samuel... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 24:1

PSALM 24A PROPHECY OF THE ASCENSION OF CHRISTThe title we have chosen for this psalm is that given by Dr. George DeHoff.[1] Most of the commentators which we have consulted are very much preoccupied with discussing the Jewish usage of this psalm. The vast majority of them are agreed that it was sung by the religious singers of Jerusalem and used as a processional for the entry of King David into Jerusalem upon the occasion of his bringing the ark from Obed-Edom to the tabernacle prepared for it... read more

David composed this psalm upon his bringing the ark of God to Mount Sion, where it continued till Solomon had built his temple.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 24:1-2

David affirmed Yahweh’s sovereignty over all things. He is over all because He created all. Paul appealed to this verse to support his doctrine that the Christian may eat anything, provided doing so does not cause someone else to stumble (1 Corinthians 10:26).The pagans viewed their gods as limited to certain regions and functions, but Yahweh is sovereign over all. Psalms 24:2 looks back to the creation of the world. The "rivers" (NASB) or "waters" (NIV) is a synonym for "seas." It probably... read more

Psalms 24Only people characterized by righteous deeds and pure thoughts may enter the place where the glorious King of the Universe dwells.The occasion that inspired the composition of this psalm is unknown. However, in view of its content, many interpreters believe David may have written it when he brought the ark of the covenant into Jerusalem (2 Samuel 6). [Note: E.g., Delitzsch, 1:334.] Perhaps he wrote it when he returned from some victory in battle. [Note: Craigie, pp. 213-14.] During the... read more
