Psalms 24:8-10

24:8 Who is this majestic king? 1 

The Lord who is strong and mighty!

The Lord who is mighty in battle!

24:9 Look up, you gates!

Rise up, you eternal doors!

Then the majestic king will enter!

24:10 Who is this majestic king?

The Lord who commands armies! 2 

He is the majestic king! (Selah)

1 sn Who is this majestic king? Perhaps the personified gates/doors ask this question, in response to the command given in v. 7.

2 tn Traditionally, “the Lord of hosts,” a title which here pictures the Lord as a mighty warrior-king who leads armies into battle.
