Psalms 24:13-22

13 anima eius in bonis demorabitur et semen ipsius hereditabit terram
14 firmamentum est Dominus timentibus eum et testamentum ipsius ut manifestetur illis
15 oculi mei semper ad Dominum quoniam ipse evellet de laqueo pedes meos
16 respice in me et miserere mei quia unicus et pauper sum ego
17 tribulationes cordis mei multiplicatae sunt de necessitatibus meis erue me
18 vide humilitatem meam et laborem meum et dimitte universa delicta mea
19 respice inimicos meos quoniam multiplicati sunt et odio iniquo oderunt me
20 custodi animam meam et erue me non erubescam quoniam speravi in te
21 innocentes et recti adheserunt mihi quia sustinui te
22 libera Deus Israhel ex omnibus tribulationibus suis

Psalms 24:13-22 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.
