Entering Jehovah’s Holy Place
Psa 24:1-10
Psa 22:1-31 tells of the cross; Psa 23:1-6 of the crook; Psa 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, 2Sa 6:1-23. It was conducted with music and song to its resting-place, and this psalm was the marching song of the priests, 1Ch 15:2-27.
Psa 24:1-2 were sung by the whole festal crowd; Psa 24:3 by a soloist; Psa 24:4-5 by the choir; and Psa 24:6 by the entire congregation. What a sublime challenge on the part of the approaching host is contained in Psa 24:7, to be answered by a company from within the gates in Psa 24:8! To this again the vast shout of the multitude gives reply in Psa 24:9.
This magnificent ode reached its perfect accomplishment when the mighty Victor over hell and the grave arose on high and sat down at the Father’s right hand. Oh, let the gates of your heart open wide to admit Him!
