Psalms 24:7

Context

24:7 Look up, 1  you gates!

Rise up, 2  you eternal doors!

Then the majestic king 3  will enter! 4 

1 tn Heb “lift up your heads.” The gates of the Lord’s dwelling place are here personified. The idiom “lift up the head” often means “be confident, bold” (see Judg 8:28; Job 10:15; Ps 83:2; Zech 1:21).

2 tn Heb “lift yourselves up.”

3 tn Or “king of glory.”

4 tn Following the imperatives of the preceding lines, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose or result.
