Psalms 24:1-6

The King of Glory Entering Zion.

1 The ¹earth is the LORD'S, and all it contains, The ²world, and those who dwell in it.

2 For He has ³founded it upon the seas And established it upon the rivers.

3 Who may ⁴ascend into the ⁵hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy ⁶place?

4 He who has ⁷clean hands and a ⁸pure heart, Who has not ⁹lifted up his soul to falsehood And has not ¹⁰sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive a ¹¹blessing from the LORD And ¹²righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation of those who ¹³seek Him, Who seek Your face -even Jacob. Selah.

Psalms 24:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 24

\\<>\\. This psalm is thought by some of the Jewish writers {d} to have been wrote when the ark was brought from the house of Obededom to the city of David, and put into the place prepared for it by him, 2Sa 6:17; to which reference is supposed to be had in Ps 24:7-10; or after that David had built an altar in the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, and had knowledge of the hill Moriah, as the place where the sanctuary was to be built; called the hill of the Lord, and his holy place, Ps 24:3; however, it was certainly written by David, under the inspiration of the spirit of God; and is a prophecy of Christ, and of the Gospel church, and describes the members of it. {d} Aben Ezra & Kimchi.
