Psalms 24:7–10
The ancient gates must lift their heads to admit the King of Glory, the Lord of Hosts, who is strong and mighty in battle.
7 Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
8 Who is the King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory!
The ancient gates must lift their heads to admit the King of Glory, the Lord of Hosts, who is strong and mighty in battle.
To celebrate the arrival of the LORD into His dwelling place, using personified gates and antiphonal questioning to emphasize His identity as the glorious and victorious Warrior-King.
The King of Glory Enters His Holy Place
Because the LORD owns all creation and enters as the King of glory, His people must seek His face with clean hands, pure hearts, truthful worship, and reverent welcome of His reign.
