THEME: THE KING OF GLORY
The theme of Psalm 24 becomes more obvious towards the end of the Psalm. The phrase “The King of Glory” takes centre stage in the last four verses of the Psalm.
A GENTLE BUT POSITIVE BEGINNING
David chose a gentle but positive beginning as he wrote Psalm 24.

The world and those who dwell therein.
For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the waters.”
Psalm 24:1-2
