Psalm 24 appears to be an antiphonal psalm. The people (or a Levitical chorus) opened with verses 1-2, a leader asked the questions in verses 3, 8a, and 10a, and the chorus or the people answered with verses 4-6, 8b and 10b. It was sung in Herod’s temple each Sunday, and some connect the psalm with our Lord’s entrance into Jerusalem on what we call Palm Sunday.


I organized this Psalm this way. Please note, then, these divisions are mine. Grab a friend, your family, spouse…divide into two groups and enjoy the word of the Lord!

Of David. A psalm.



The people say:

1The earth is the Lord‘s, and everything in it,

the world, and all who live in it;

2 for he founded it upon the seas

and established it upon the waters.

The leader asks:

3 Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?

Who may stand in his holy place?

The people say:

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,

who does not lift up his soul to an idol

or swear by what is false.

5 He will receive blessing from the Lord

and vindication from God his Savior.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,

who seek your face, O God of Jacob.

Selah

7 Lift up your heads, O you gates;

be lifted up, you ancient doors,

that the King of glory may

come in.

The leader asks:

8 Who is this King of glory?

The people say:

The Lord strong and mighty,

the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O you gates;

lift them up, you ancient doors,

that the King of glory may come in.

The leader asks:

10 Who is he, this King of glory?

The people say:

The Lord Almighty —

he is the King of glory.

Selah
