Psalms 24 · Grade 4

Open the Gates

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 24's title says it is a Psalm by David. It has three parts. First, it says who owns everything: The earth is Yahweh's, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it. Because God made it, he owns it. Second, it asks, Who may ascend to Yahweh's hill? Who may stand in his holy place? The answer is someone with clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood or sworn deceitfully.

Third, the psalm becomes a joyful call and response. A voice calls, Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in. Another voice asks, Who is the King of glory? The answer: Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle. The call and question are repeated, and the psalm ends, Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory!
