Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Psalms 24:10

10. Lord of hosts—or fully, Lord God of hosts (Hosea 12:5; Amos 4:13), describes God by a title indicative of supremacy over all creatures, and especially the heavenly armies (Joshua 5:14; 1 Kings 22:19). Whether, as some think, the actual enlargement of the ancient gates of Jerusalem be the basis of the figure, the effect of the whole is to impress us with a conception of the matchless majesty of God. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 24:1-10

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 24:9-10

To underline the glory of Yahweh as the great King, David repeated the exhortation and the explanation contained in Psalms 24:7-8 respectively. These verses restate, in synonymous parallelism, the same thought, and all four verses serve as a victory shout. "Long live the King!" "Long live the King!"God’s people should honor and glorify the Lord because He is the strongest of all Kings. We should realize that communion with such a One requires purity in thought, word, and deed. This will be an... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 24:1-10

This Ps. is generally, and very appropriately, connected with the occasion when David brought up the ark from the house of Obededom to the tent prepared for it on Mt. Zion. It declares the universal sovereignty of God the Creator (Psalms 24:1-2), and describes the character of those who may approach His earthly dwelling (Psalms 24:3-6). Then there follows a twice-repeated scene, in which the gates of Jerusalem are summoned to open, that God, as represented by the ark, may enter; while the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 24:10

(10) The Lord of hosts.—A second challenge from the reluctant gates serves as the inauguration of the great name by which the Divine nature was especially known under the monarchy. (For its origin and force, see Note on 1 Samuel 1:3.) read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 24:1-10

Psalms 24:0 These were the last words written by Columba after he had spent a long life of incessant Christian labour. He died in Iona on 9 June, a.d. 597. The narrative Adamnan gives of his closing hours, of his farewell words with his sorrow-stricken disciples, of his parting with his faithful old horse, which put its head on its master's breast as if aware of the event, reveals the deep tenderness and humanity of his nature. When the biographer has lingered lovingly on the little incidents... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:1-10

Psalms 24:1-10EWALD’S widely accepted view that this psalm is a composite of two fragments rests on a somewhat exaggerated estimate of the differences in tone and structure of the parts. These are obvious, but do not demand the hypothesis of compilation; and the original author has as good a right to be credited with the uniting thought as the supposed editor has. The usually alleged occasion of the psalm fits its tone so well and gives such appropriateness to some of its phrases that stronger... read more

Psalms 24:0 The Chief Shepherd, the King of Glory 1. Who shall dwell with Him when He comes? (Psalms 24:1-6 ) 2. The glorious manifestation of the King (Psalms 24:7-10 ) Psalms 24:1-6 . This Psalm may have been composed and used 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 6:1-23 ). It is a millennial Psalm and describes how the Lord will enter His glorious dwelling place on Mount Zion when He appears in power and in... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:1-10

Psalms 18:0 A song of victory. It opens with ejaculatory expressions of triumph for deliverance. All nature is described as convulsed when the Almighty presses to the rescue. The next division is meditation on the principles involved, the whole closing with a further outburst of triumph and confidence. 2 Samuel 22:0 is a copy of this ode saying a few variations, and the student is referred to our treatment of it at that place. Psalms 19:0 God’s revelation in the world and in the Word. We have a... read more
