Psalm 24
Of David. A psalm.
1 The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?
Who may stand in his holy place?
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not trust in an idol
or swear by a false god.
5 They will receive blessing from the LORD
and vindication from God their Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, God of Jacob.
7 Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty—
he is the King of glory.
This is one of my favorite psalms.
The imagery of the ancient doors lifting up their heads
with the gates so that the King of glory may come in
has always held my attention.
Not once, but twice the gates and doors are lifted for
the King of glory.
And who is this King of glory?
Who is the King of glory, we ask once again-
the LORD Almighty.
The Lord who owns the earth and everything in it.
The Lord, our maker.
Almighty- strong in battle.
The King of Glory.
Our father.
Amen.
What an honor to belong to the King of Glory. We can call Him, Father and He will answer us.
We can call Him Jesus and he will answer us, as well!
We can call Him Holy Spirit and he will still answer!
The King of Glory is representative of the entire Godhead!
Creator, Almighty, King!
Yes!
