Day 185 – Psalm 24

“The King of glory…” Psalm 24:7c

THEME SEEN IN THE CLIMAX

The theme of Psalm 24 is clearly seen in the climax.

“Lift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O you gates!
Lift up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of hosts,
He is the King of glory.”

Psalm 24:7-10
