Let Him In

⁷ Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.

Idol Hand

These feels like such a passionate psalm to me...I think that David probably sang it pretty loudly. And I can understand what he was feeling - searching for a way to humble himself before God, to be pure before the Creator of the world, who holds all in his hand and blesses those whose hearts love him. And then the ending...

Lift up your heads, O you gates;

be lifted up, you ancient doors,

that the King of Glory may come in.

For all of creation simply open up to the Lord, to the King of Glory. Let's let him in.

Psalm 24

Of David.

¹ The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
² for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.

³ Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?
Who may stand in his holy place?
⁴ The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not trust in an idol
or swear by a false god.

⁵ They will receive blessing from the LORD
and vindication from God their Savior.
⁶ Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, God of Jacob.

⁷ Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
⁸ Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle.
⁹ Lift up your heads, you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
¹⁰ Who is he, this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty—
he is the King of glory.
