Righteous. Though he is always ready to receive the penitent, he will punish the obstinate with severity. (Calmet; Worthington) --- Yet he points out the means of obtaining his favour. (St. Augustine) --- A law. Hebrew, "will instruct." (Calmet) read more
7-10 The splendid entry here described, refers to the solemn bringing in of the ark into the tent David pitched for it, or the temple Solomon built for it. We may also apply it to the ascension of Christ into heaven, and the welcome given to him there. Our Redeemer found the gates of heaven shut, but having by his blood made atonement for sin, as one having authority, he demanded entrance. The angels were to worship him, Hebrews 1:6: they ask with wonder, Who is he? It is answered, that he is... read more
The Welcome of the King v. 7. Lift up your heads. O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall come in. The picture is that of a mighty host moving forward to take possession of Mount Zion, with a great King, who wants to enter the city, the congregation of the saints, at its head. The challenging cry rings out that the gates of Zion, of the spiritual Temple of the Lord, should lift up their heads, their lintels, widen out, make room for the entering of this... read more
Psalms 24:0A Psalm of David1 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof;The world, and they that dwell therein.2 For he hath founded it upon the seas,And established it upon the floods.3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?Or who shall stand in his holy place?4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart,Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity,Nor sworn deceitfully.5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord,And righteousness from the God of his... read more
Psalms THE GOD WHO DWELLS WITH MEN Psa_24:7 - Psa_24:10 . This whole psalm was probably composed at the time of the bringing of the ark into the city of Zion. The former half was chanted as the procession wound its way up the hillside. It mainly consists of the answer to the question ‘Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?’ and describes the kind of men that dwell with God, and the way by which they obtain their purity. This second half of our psalm is probably to be thought of as... read more
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
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 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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 24:7-10
What a sublimity there is in these blessed words; and what a rich treasure they contain, in reference to the person and glory of our almighty Mediator! So important a doctrine was the triumph of Jesus, that God the Holy Ghost was pleased to shadow it forth in the Old Testament church, when the ark was conducted with all the splendour and gracefulness of holy worship to Mount Zion. See 1 Chronicles 15:1-29 etc. But the glorious, event itself was accomplished when the Lord Jesus Christ, having... read more
