Psalms 24:9-10

To underline the glory of Yahweh as the great King, David repeated the exhortation and the explanation contained in Psalms 24:7-8 respectively. These verses restate, in synonymous parallelism, the same thought, and all four verses serve as a victory shout. "Long live the King!" "Long live the King!"

God’s people should honor and glorify the Lord because He is the strongest of all Kings. We should realize that communion with such a One requires purity in thought, word, and deed. This will be an appropriate psalm to recite when the Lord Jesus returns to earth to set up His kingdom for 1,000 years. [Note: See Allen, Lord of . . ., pp. 131-45.]

"Psalms 22, 23, , 24 form a trilogy. In Psalms 22 the good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep (John 10:11); in Psalms 23 the great Shepherd, ’brought again from the dead . . . through the blood of the everlasting covenant’ (Hebrews 13:20), tenderly cares for His sheep; in Psalms 24 the chief Shepherd appears as King of glory to reward His sheep (1 Peter 5:4)." [Note: The New Scofield . . ., p. 610.]

"What a wonderful trilogy we have here in these three Psalms. The Psalm of the Cross, 22; the Psalm of the crook, the Shepherd’s crook, 23; the Psalm of the crown, 24." [Note: Ironside, p. 151.]
