Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 24:8

This seems to be a prolepsis, or removal of an objection. You will say, What is the cause of this imperious call? and why or for whom must those gates be opened in so solemn and extraordinary a manner? The Lord strong and mighty: this contains an answer to the question; He is no ordinary person, no meaner and no other than Jehovah, who hath given so many proofs of his almightiness, who hath subdued all his enemies, and is now returned in triumph. Here is in this and the foregoing verse a sacred... read more

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 24:7-8

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

Psalms 24:1 . The fulness thereof. Targum, all its creatures; all that the earth contains and supports. Psalms 24:4 . Not lifted up his soul to vanity; that is, to an idol. So the LXX, ματαια . Idols are often designated by vanity, lying vanities, &c. Psalms 24:6 . Thy face, oh Jacob. The LXX, “Oh God of Jacob.” The Hebrew is either deficient of the word, or the word did exist when the LXX translated it. Psalms 24:7 .

Psalms 24:7-8Lift up your heads, O ye gates.The ascension of ChristIt is generally admitted by expositors that these words have a secondary, if not a primary, reference to the return of the Mediator to heaven, when He had accomplished the work of human redemption. Bishop Horsley affirms that the Jehovah of this Psalm must be Christ; and the entrance of the Redeemer into the kingdom of His Father is the event prophetically announced. But you will say, Are we to rejoice in the departure of our... read more

Psalms 24:8Who is this King of glory. The King of gloryIn the old days, when the king of England wished to enter the city of London through Temple Bar, the gate being closed against him, the herald advanced and demanded entrance. “Open the gate,” shouted the herald. “Who is there?” questioned a voice from within. “The king of England!” answered the herald. The gate was at once opened, and the king passed, amid the acclamations of the people. But the custom was an old one, and stretched back... read more
