<p id="Chapter24" align="center">Commentary by A. R. FAUSSET<br>PSALM 24
|
|
<p id="Ps24_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',24,'1-10');">Psa 24:1-10</a>.
|
|
<p>God's supreme sovereignty requires a befitting holiness of life and heart in His worshippers; a sentiment sublimely illustrated by describing His entrance into the sanctuary, by the symbol of His worship—the ark, as requiring the most profound homage to the glory of His Majesty.
|
|
<p><b>1. fulness</b>—everything.
|
|
<br><br><b>world</b>—the habitable globe, with
|
|
<br><br><b>they that dwell</b>—forming a parallel expression to the first clause.
|
|
<p id="Ps24_2"><b>2.</b> Poetically represents the facts of <a href= "#" onclick="return mV('Gen',1,9);">Gen 1:9</a>.
|
|
<p id="Ps24_3"><b>3, 4.</b> The form of a question gives vivacity. <i>Hands, tongue,</i> and <i>heart</i> are organs of action, speech, and feeling, which compose character.
|
|
<br><br><b>hill of the Lord</b>—(compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',2,6);">Psa 2:6</a>, etc.). His Church—the true or invisible, as typified by the earthly sanctuary.
|
|
<p id="Ps24_4"><b>4. lifted up his soul</b>—is to set the affections (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',25,1);">Psa 25:1</a>) on an object; here,
|
|
<br><br><b>vanity</b>—or, any false thing, of which swearing falsely, or <i>to falsehood,</i> is a specification.
|
|
<p id="Ps24_5"><b>5. righteousness</b>—the rewards which God bestows on His people, or the grace to secure those rewards as well as the result.
|
|
<p id="Ps24_6"><b>6. Jacob</b>—By "Jacob," we may understand God's people (compare <a onclick="return mV('Isa',43,22);">Isa 43:22</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Isa',44,2);">44:2</a>, etc.), corresponding to "the generation," as if he had said, "those who seek Thy face are Thy chosen people."
|
|
<p id="Ps24_7"><b>7-10.</b> The entrance of the ark, with the attending procession, into the holy sanctuary is pictured to us. The repetition of the terms gives emphasis.
|
|
<p id="Ps24_10"><b>10. Lord of hosts</b>—or fully, <i>Lord God of hosts</i> (<a onclick="return mV('Hsa',12,5);">Hsa 12:5</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Amo',4,13);">Amo 4:13</a>), describes God by a title indicative of supremacy over all creatures, and especially the heavenly armies (<a onclick="return mV('Jos',5,14);">Jos 5:14</a>; <a onclick="return mV('1Ki',22,19);">1Ki 22:19</a>). Whether, as some think, the actual enlargement of the ancient gates of Jerusalem be the basis of the figure, the effect of the whole is to impress us with a conception of the matchless majesty of God.
