Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

Psalms 24

Verses 1-10

XXIV. Psalms 24:1 f. Yahweh the Creator.

Psalms 24:2. For the water under the earth, cf. Exodus 20:4. There was sea below the earth, another on a level with the earth, and a third ocean above the firmament (Genesis 16 f.*).

Psalms 24:3-6. The moral qualities required of the worshippers in the Temple (cf. Psalms 15).

Psalms 24:7-10. Once more Yahweh in His glory enters the Temple. The Ps. may have been composed for the feast of the Encnia (cf. John 10:22*, p. 104), which celebrated the purification of the Temple in 165 B.C. by Judas Maccabus (p. 607).
