Psalms 24:2-10

2 He built it on the waters and set it on the rivers.

3 Who may go up on the mountain of the Lord?

4 Only those with clean hands and pure hearts, who have not worshiped idols, who have not made promises in the name of a false god.

5 They will receive a blessing from the Lord; the God who saves them will declare them right.

6 They try to follow God; they look to the God of Jacob for help. Selah

7 Gates, open all the way. Open wide, aged doors so the glorious King will come in.

8 Who is this glorious King? The Lord, strong and mighty. The Lord, the powerful warrior.

9 Gates, open all the way. Open wide, aged doors so the glorious King will come in.

10 Who is this glorious King? he is the glorious King. Selah Of David.

Psalms 24:2-10 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.
