Commentaries on Psalms 24:7
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Lift up your heads, O ye gates - The address of those who preceded the ark, the gates being addressed instead of the keepers of the gates. Allusion is here made to the triumphal entry of a victorious general into the imperial city. In the hymn of Callimachus to Apollo, there are two lines very much like those in the text; they convey the very same sentiments.

The angels were to worship him, He 1:6: they ask with…Read the comment
