Psalm Ps. 24. This psalm seems to be intended for public worship—perhaps a celebration remembering how David brought the ark of the Lord into Jerusalem (2 Samuel 6).
Ps. 24:1–2 The Lord is the one who founded the world, where human beings dwell. Humans dwell on the land, rather than on the seas (compare Gen. 1:9–10). In 1 Cor. 10:26, Paul quotes Ps. 24:1 to explain that, since God owns everything, the believer may eat any kind of food with a clear conscience.
Ps. 24:3–6 Every Israelite has the right to attend worship at the sanctuary (the hill of the Lord, his holy place), but not everyone will really receive blessing, and not everyone will enjoy the status of righteousness. God expects the Israelites to show by behavior that they truly are his people (vv. 4, 6). This is a recurring theme in the OT: see 15:1–5; 51:16–19; Prov. 15:8; Isa. 1:11–17.
Ps. 24:7–10 The people bearing the ark announce God’s presence in the ark, seeking entry into his sanctuary (v. 7). The people inside the sanctuary reply, Who is this King of glory? The people bearing the ark then say who the Lord is (The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle!) and then repeat the request for entry (v. 9).
