F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 24:1-10

Entering Jehovah’s Holy Place Psalms 24:1-10 Psalms 22:1-31 tells of the cross; Psalms 23:1-6 of the crook; Psalms 24:1-10 of the crown. This great choral hymn was evidently composed to celebrate the removal of the Ark from the house of Obed-edom to Mount Zion, 2 Samuel 6:1-23 . It was conducted with music and song to its resting-place, and this psalm was the marching song of the priests, 1 Chronicles 15:2-27 . Psalms 24:1-2 were sung by the whole festal crowd; Psalms 24:3 by a soloist;... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 24:1-10

This is the final psalm of the three, and as in Psa 22:1-31 the words so far exceed the possibility of exhaustion by any circumstances originating them as to create an opinion unanimously in favor of their Messianic application. In this song the Saviour who through suffering triumphed, the Shepherd; who through pilgrimage leads His own, is seen ascending to the place of power and authority. The first movement recognizes the sovereignty of Jehovah over the created world and its inhabitants... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 24:3-6

Who May Enter The Holy Place Of YHWH? (Psalms 24:3-6 ) Psalms 24:3 ‘Who will ascend into the hill of YHWH? And who will stand in his holy place?’ But now having considered the greatness of YHWH an important question arises. Who is fitted to ascend into the place where this powerful Creator and Sustainer of the world will make His earthly dwellingplace? And especially who will be able to face up to His holiness, His total purity and ‘otherness’, and stand his ground before Him (compare Psalms... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 24:4

Whose actions and conversations are holy and unblamable. It is here very observable, that the character of a right and acceptable worshipper of God is not taken from his nation and relation to Abraham, nor from all those costly and laborious rites and ceremonies of the law, in which the generality of the Israelites pleased themselves, but in moral and spiritual duties, which most of them grossly neglected. A pure heart; purged from hypocrisy and inward filthiness, and careful to approve itself... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 24:1-10

INTRODUCTION“This grand choral hymn was in all probability composed and sung on the occasion of the removal of the ark from the house of Obed-Edom to the city of David, on Mount Zion (2 Samuel 6:0). It was a day of solemn gladness and triumph. No long period had elapsed since David had wrested the stronghold of Zion from the last remnant of the hill-tribes of the Canaanites which lingered in Palestine. Henceforth this mountain-city, deemed by its ancient inhabitants impregnable, was selected by... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:3-6

Psalms 24:3-6 I. The men who approach a holy God must be holy. Reason and common-sense proclaim, "Like draws to like." The loftiest form of worship is always imitation. "Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children," is the inmost meaning of all religion; and as imitation is the truest worship, so some spiritual and moral kindred is an absolute necessity for all men that would draw near to their God. II. The men who are pure receive purity as a gift from God. God will give righteousness.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 24:4

Psalms 24:4 Our hands are the instruments by which we accomplish anything and make ourselves useful, and hence to have "clean hands" means to do honest and good things. I shall tell you about several sorts of hands. I. Dishonest hands. There is every reason why Christians of every rank in life should respond devoutly when the Eighth Commandment is read in church, "Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law." II. Meddlesome and mischievous hands. The habit which many... read more
