About this chapter
Psalms 24 — United Kingdom of Israel
David — Shepherd boy turned king, warrior poet of Israel. Set in Temple mount in Jerusalem. David envisions a grand procession as the ark of the covenant enters Jerusalem's gates. He calls for the ancient doors to lift up their heads as the King of Glory approaches His holy dwelling place, demanding to know who is worthy to stand in God's presence.
“Psalms 24:7” — 24:7
Overwhelming awe at the majesty and holiness of the King of all creation.
Read when: Read this when you need to be reminded of God's absolute supremacy over every situation you're facing.
1The earth is Yahweh's, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein. 2For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods. 3Who may ascend to Yahweh's hill? Who may stand in his holy place? 4He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully. 5He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face--even Jacob. Selah. 7Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in. 8Who is the King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle. 9Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in. 10Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! Selah. By David.
