Psalms24

Psalm 24 declares the LORD's universal ownership and creation of the earth and all its inhabitants. It then poses the question of who is worthy to ascend His holy hill, answering that only those with clean hands, pure hearts, and integrity may approach. The psalm concludes with a majestic call for ancient gates to open, welcoming the "King of glory," identified as the LORD strong and mighty, the LORD of hosts.
