Psalms 24:1-9

1 psalmus David ad te Domine levavi animam meam

2 Deus meus in te confido non erubescam

3 neque inrideant me inimici mei etenim universi qui sustinent te non confundentur

4 confundantur %omnes; iniqua agentes supervacue vias tuas Domine demonstra mihi %et; semitas tuas doce me

5 dirige me in veritatem tuam et doce me quoniam tu es Deus salvator meus et te sustinui tota die

6 reminiscere miserationum tuarum Domine et misericordiarum tuarum quia a saeculo sunt

7 delicta iuventutis meae et ignorantias meas ne memineris secundum misericordiam tuam memento mei * tu; propter bonitatem tuam Domine

8 dulcis et rectus Dominus propter hoc legem dabit delinquentibus in via

9 diriget mansuetos in iudicio docebit mites vias suas

Psalms 24:1-9 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.
