Psalm 24:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 24:7-10

What is spoken once is spoken a second time in these verses; such repetitions are usual in songs, and have much beauty in them. Here is, 1. Entrance once and again demanded for the King of glory; the doors and gates are to be thrown open, thrown wide open, to give him admission, for behold he stands at the door and knocks, ready to come in. 2. Enquiry once and again made concerning this mighty prince, in whose name entrance is demanded: Who is this King of glory? As, when any knock at our... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:10

Who is this King of glory ?.... This is repeated, because of the preceding words, and in order to have a further account of his glorious Person, as follows: the Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory ; he who is the Lord of sabaoth, the Lord of the armies, both of the heavens and the earth; at whose dispose and control all things are in both worlds, above and below: this is the great and glorious Person that condescends to dwell in his churches, and in the hearts of his people; and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 24:1-10

David's authorship is allowed by most critics; and the most probable period of the composition is the time when David determined to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the tabernacle which he had prepared for it on Mount Zion ( 2 Samuel 6:12 ). The psalm is made up of three strophes: Psalms 24:1 , Psalms 24:2 ; Psalms 24:3-6 ; and Psalms 24:7-10 . The first and second arc closely connected; the third is a little detached. read more

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 24:7-10

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 24:10

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 24:10

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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 24:9-10

Psalms 24:9-10. Lift up your heads, &c. The same verse is repeated again, to awaken the dulness of mankind, who are so hardly brought to a serious preparation for such solemnities; and to signify the great importance of the matter contained under these expressions. The Lord of hosts Under whose command are all the hosts of heaven and earth, angels and men, and all other creatures. The reader will be pleased to see Dr. Horne’s application of these verses to the ascension of our Lord.... 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
