Psalms 24
David declares that the earth and all it contains belong to YHWH, the sovereign God of all creation, and poses the question of who may ascend to God's holy place—answering that only those with clean hands, pure hearts, and truthful speech will receive blessing and righteousness from God. The psalm concludes with David inviting the gates of Jerusalem to open so that the King of glory (YHWH, mighty in battle) may enter and fill the city with His presence.
