Psaume 24:1-8

1 Psaume de David. A l'Eternel la terre et ce qu'elle renferme, Le monde et ceux qui l'habitent!

2 Car il l'a fondée sur les mers, Et affermie sur les fleuves.

3 Qui pourra monter à la montagne de l'Eternel? Qui s'élèvera jusqu'à son lieu saint? -

4 Celui qui a les mains innocentes et le coeur pur; Celui qui ne livre pas son âme au mensonge, Et qui ne jure pas pour tromper.

5 Il obtiendra la bénédiction de l'Eternel, La miséricorde du Dieu de son salut.

6 Voilà le partage de la génération qui l'invoque, De ceux qui cherchent ta face, de Jacob! -Pause.

7 Portes, élevez vos linteaux; Elevez-vous, portes éternelles! Que le roi de gloire fasse son entrée! -

8 Qui est ce roi de gloire? -L'Eternel fort et puissant, L'Eternel puissant dans les combats.

Psaume 24:1-8 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.
