psalm-24:1-3

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 24:1-2

Here is, I. God's absolute propriety in this part of the creation where our lot is cast, Ps. 24:1. We are not to think that the heavens, even the heavens only, are the Lord?s, and the numerous and bright inhabitants of the upper world, and that this earth, being so small and inconsiderable a part of the creation, and at such a distance from the royal palace above, is neglected, and that he claims no interest in it. No, even the earth is his, and this lower world; and, though he has prepared... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 24:3-6

From this world, and the fulness thereof, the psalmist's meditations rise, of a sudden to the great things of another world, the foundation of which is not on the seas, nor on the floods. The things of this world God has given to the children of men and we are much indebted to his providence for them; but they will not make a portion for us. And therefore, I. Here is an enquiry after better things, Ps. 24:3. This earth is God's footstool; but, if we had ever so much of it, we must be here but... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:1

The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof ,.... The whole universe, all the terraqueous globe, both land and water, and the circumambient air, and all that is therein; the fishes of the sea, the fowls of the air, the beasts of the field, all plants and vegetables that spring out of the earth, and metals and minerals in the bowels of it; all which are the riches of the Lord the earth is full of, Psalm 104:24 ; see Psalm 50:10 ; the world, and they that dwell therein ; the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:2

For he hath founded it upon the seas ,.... Or "with" them, as some interpret F5 R. Moses in Aben Ezra in loc. the particle על ; he hath founded the earth and seas together, and both upon nothing; and yet are stable and firm; or "by the seas" F6 על ימים "juxta maria", Vatablus, Gejerus, Amama; so Kimchi & Ben Melech. , near unto them, at the side of them; which, though higher than the earth, are wonderfully bounded by the power of God, so as not to return and cover the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:3

Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord ?.... Though the Lord has a claim in general to the whole world, and all its fulness; yet there is a particular part of it, or spot in it, which is his special and peculiar property, and that is his church and people; for though some reference may be had, in this passage, to Mount Moriah, and the hill of Zion, on which the temple was afterwards built, and is called the hill of the Lord, where he desired to dwell, Psalm 68:15 ; yet the church is... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 24:1

The earth is the Lord's - He is the Creator and Governor of it; it is his own property. Men may claim districts and kingdoms of it as their property, but God is Lord of the soil. The fullness thereof - " All its creatures." - Targum. Every tree, plant, and shrub; the silver and the gold, and the cattle on a thousand hills. They that dwell therein - All human beings. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 24:2

He hath founded it upon the seas - He not only created the vast mass, but separated the land from the waters, so that the mountains, etc., being elevated above the waters, appear to be founded on them, and notwithstanding all the tossings and ragings of the ocean, these waters cannot prevail. It is established upon the floods, and cannot be shaken. read more

John Calvin

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

Verse 1 1.The earth is Jehovah’s. We will find in many other places the children of Abraham compared with all the rest of mankind, that the free goodness of God, in selecting them from all other nations, and in embracing them with his favor, may shine forth the more conspicuously. The object of the beginning of the psalm is to show that the Jews had nothing of themselves which could entitle them to approach nearer or more familiarly to God than the Gentiles. As God by his providence preserves... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 24:2

Verse 2 2.For he hath founded it upon the seas. The Psalmist here confirms the truth, that men are rightfully under the authority and power of God, so that in all places and countries they ought to acknowledge him as King. And he confirms it from the very order manifested in the creation; for the wonderful providence of God is clearly reflected in the whole face of the earth. In order to prove this, he brings forward the proof of it, which is most evident. How is it that the earth appears above... read more
