“Who?”
What is the title of Psalm 24? A Psalm of David.
Read Psalm 24:1-2
1
The earth is to YHWH and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell
therein,
2 for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.
2 for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.
What did YHWH do?
Created – mythological gods are always fighting in
world. They had petty arguments BUT opposed to this, YHWH created it all.
Read Psalm 24:3-6
3
Who
shall ascend the hill of YHWH? And who shall stand in his
holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully.
5 He will receive blessing from YHWH and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah

WHO will go up?
See psalm 15 – WHO?? Is this blameless man? The one who keeps
the commandments…
Ultimately CHRIST
Read 24:7-10
7
Lift
up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? YHWH, strong and mighty, YHWH, mighty in battle!
9 Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? YHWH of hosts, he is the King of glory! Selah
8 Who is this King of glory? YHWH, strong and mighty, YHWH, mighty in battle!
9 Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? YHWH of hosts, he is the King of glory! Selah
What is the proud declaration?
YHWH is king, mighty, YHWH of hosts (sabaoth) military
victory!
WHO?? The Answer is YHWH.
Wait, God (YHWH) is the one who can "ascend to the hill" (v.3) of YHWH. God is appealing to God. That's strange...
WHO is GOD in
each of these sections?
Father Creator (v.1-2), Son Perfect Redeemer (v.3-6), Triumphant declaration
of H.S. (v. 7-10)
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME?
What is the purpose of this Psalm/prayer?
Asking – answer = DESCRIBING in an interactive way
PRAISE
How does Christ fulfill this psalm?
He is the God-WHO that goes up to the mountain of God. So the PRAISE is
that YHWH (Christ) won the victory, and is accepted in the gates!
How can we pray this? Praise Christ for his victory! Praise God for standing before God!
WE PRAY:
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
