Salmos 24:9-10 RVA

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 24:9

Lift up your heads, O ye gates even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in . See Gill on Psalm 24:7 . This is repeated on account of the backwardness and negligence of churches, and particular believers, to open and let Christ in; as may be seen in the case of the church in Song of Solomon 5:2 ; as well as the more to set forth the greatness and glory of Christ, about to make his entrance, and to command a proper awe and reverence of him: some think... 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 24:9

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in . A repetition of Psalms 24:7 , the first part of the choir reiterating its challenge. read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

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 24:9

Lift up your heads ... - The repetition here is designed to give force and emphasis to what is uttered. The response in Psalms 24:5 is slightly varied from the response in Psalms 24:8; but the same general sentiment is expressed. The design is to announce in a solemn manner that the symbol of the divine presence and majesty was about to be introduced into the place of its permanent abode, and that this was an event worthy to be celebrated; that even the gates of the city should voluntarily open... 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
