Psalms 24:3

“Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? etc.] Though the Lord has a claim in general to the whole world, and all its fulness; yet there is a particular part of it, or spot in it, which is his special and peculiar property, and that is his church and people; for though some reference may be had, in this passage, to Mount Moriah, and the hill of Zion, on which the temple was afterwards built, and is called the hill of the Lord, where he desired to dwell, (<196815>Psalm 68:15,16); yet the church is mystically intended, and is so called on account of its visibility, through a profession of faith in Christ, and for its immovableness, being built on him; and who shall stand in his holy place?…”

“The form of a question gives vivacity. Hands, tongue, and heart are organs of action, speech, and feeling, which compose character. hill of the Lord--(compare Psa 2:6, &c.). His Church--the true or invisible, as typified by the earthly sanctuary.”

“The hill - Zion or Moriah, the place of God's sanctuary and special presence. Having asserted God's dominion over all mankind, he now proposes an important question, by whom God will be served, and his blessing enjoyed? Stand - To minister before him. Standing is the posture of ministers or servants. Who shall serve God, with God's acceptation. Holy place - In the place which he hath sanctified for his service. Psalms 24:4”

“24:3-6 The citizens of the King’s realm include all who seek him. The Lord invites them to enter his presence. 24:3 These questions invite readers to look away from their problems with the wicked and to examine themselves (see 15:1). • God’s holy place is the holy mountain, a reference both to Jerusalem and to heaven.”
