Psalms 24:9

“Lift up your heads, O ye gates even lift [them] up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. (See Gill on “<192407>Psalm 24:7”). This is repeated on account of the backwardness and negligence of churches, and particular believers, to open and let Christ in; as may be seen in the case of the church in (<220502>Song of Solomon 5:2,3); as well as the more to set forth the greatness and glory of Christ, about to make his entrance, and to command a proper awe and reverence of him: some think respect is had to the twofold coming of Christ; first into the second temple, and next at the last judgment; though rather the certainty of his coming, in a spiritual manner, to his church…”

“Lift up - The same verse is repeated again, to awaken the dulness of mankind, who are so hardly brought to a serious preparation for such solemnities; and to signify the great importance of the matter, contained under these expressions. Psalms 24:10”
